[Gloucs] Bill Gates Faces God

[bjh]

*Bill Gates Faces God *

Well, Bill," said God, "I'm really confused on this one. I'm not sure
whether to send you to Heaven or Hell!

After all, you helped society enormously by putting a computer in almost
every home in the world and yet you created that ghastly Windows. I'm going
to do something I've never done before.
 >
I'm going to let you decide where you want to go!"
 >
Mr.Gates replied, "Well, thanks, Lord. What's the difference between the
two?"
 >
God said, "You can take a peek at both places briefly if it will help you
decide. Shall we look at Hell first?"
"Sure!" said Bill. "Let's go!"
 >
Bill was amazed! He saw a clean, white sandy beach with clear 
waters.There were
thousands of beautiful women running around, playing in the water, 
laughing and
frolicking about. The sun was shining and the temperature was just perfect!
Bill said, "This is great! If this is Hell, I can't wait to see
Heaven!"
 >
To which God replied, "Let's go!" and off they went. Bill saw puffy
white
clouds in a beautiful blue sky with angels drifting about playing harps and
singing. It was nice, but surely not as enticing as Hell.
Mr.Gates thought for only a brief moment and rendered his decision.
 >
"God, I do believe I would like to go to Hell."
 >
"As you desire," said God.
 >
Two weeks later, God decided to check up on the late billionaire to see how
things were going.
He found Bill shackled to a wall, screaming among the hot flames in a 
dark cave.
He was being burned and tortured by demons.
 >
"How ya doin', Bill?" asked God.
Bill responded with anguish and despair.

"This is awful! This is not what I expected at all! What happened to the
beach and the beautiful women playing in the water?"
"Oh, THAT!" said God. "That was the screen saver"
