Non-partisan? Politically correct? We’ll see!:)<\/p>\n
THIS IS A NONPARTISAN JOKE THAT CAN BE ENJOYED BY BOTH PARTIES!
\nNOT ONLY THAT? IT IS POLITICALLY CORRECT!!<\/p>\n
While walking\u00c2\u00a0 down the street one day a US senator is tragically hit by a truck and\u00c2\u00a0 dies.<\/p>\n
His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the\u00c2\u00a0 entrance.<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0“Welcome to heaven,” <\/em>says St. Peter. “Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we’re not sure what to do with you.”<\/em> \u00c2\u00a0“Well, I’d like to, but I\u00c2\u00a0 have orders from higher up. What we’ll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend\u00c2\u00a0 eternity.”<\/em> \u00c2\u00a0“I’m sorry, but we have our rules.”<\/em><\/p>\n And with\u00c2\u00a0 that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down\u00c2\u00a0 to hell. The doors open and he finds\u00c2\u00a0 himself in the middle of a green\u00c2\u00a0 golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it\u00c2\u00a0 are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with\u00c2\u00a0 him.<\/p>\n Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet\u00c2\u00a0 him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had\u00c2\u00a0 while getting rich at the expense of the people.<\/p>\n They play a friendly game of golf and\u00c2\u00a0 then dine on lobster, caviar\u00c2\u00a0 and\u00c2\u00a0 champagne.<\/p>\n Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go.<\/p>\n Everyone\u00c2\u00a0 gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator\u00c2\u00a0 rises…<\/p>\n The elevator goes up, up, up and the door\u00c2\u00a0 reopens on heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him.<\/p>\n \u00c2\u00a0“Now it’s time to visit heaven.”<\/em><\/p>\n So, 24 hours pass with the senator joining a group of\u00c2\u00a0 contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.<\/p>\n \u00c2\u00a0“Well, then, you’ve spent a day in hell and\u00c2\u00a0 another in heaven. Now choose your eternity.”<\/em><\/p>\n The senator reflects\u00c2\u00a0 for a minute, then he answers: So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down,<\/em> down,<\/em> down<\/strong> to hell.<\/p>\n Now the doors of\u00c2\u00a0 the elevator open and he’s in the middle of a barren land covered with\u00c2\u00a0 waste and\u00c2\u00a0 garbage.<\/p>\n He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.<\/p>\n The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. The devil looks at him, smiles and says,<\/p>\n Non-partisan? Politically correct? We’ll see!:) THIS IS A NONPARTISAN JOKE THAT CAN BE ENJOYED BY BOTH PARTIES! NOT ONLY THAT?

\n“No problem, just let me in,” <\/em>says the man.<\/p>\n
\n
\n“Really, I’ve made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,”<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0 says the senator.<\/p>\n
\n\u00c2\u00a0 “Well, I would never have said it\u00c2\u00a0 before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.”<\/em><\/p>\n
\n\u00c2\u00a0“I don’t understand,” <\/em>stammers the senator. “Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great\u00c2\u00a0 time. Now there’s just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?”<\/em><\/p>\n“Yesterday we were campaigning…… Today you voted!<\/strong>“<\/em><\/h1>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
