>"Fine, but where should I go first?"

>"I'll leave that up to you."

>"Okay then," said Bill, "Let's try Hell first." So Bill went to Hell.

>"This is great!" he told God. "If this is hell, I REALLY want to see
heaven!"

>"Fine," said God, and off they went.

>Heaven was a place high in the clouds, with angels drifting about,

>"Fine," retorted God, "as you desire." So Bill Gates went to Hell.

>Two weeks later, God decided to check on the late billionaire to see

> to a wall, screaming amongst hot flames in dark caves, being burned
> and tortured by demons.
>
>"How's everything going?" he asked Bill.
>
>Bill responded, with his voice filled with anguish and disappointment,
> "this is awful! This is nothing like the Hell I visited two weeks ago!
> I can't believe this is happening! What happened to that other place,
> with the beaches, the beautiful women playing in the water????!

>"That was a DEMO," replied God.
