Political Joke
Political joke

· Filed under Personal·

While walking down the street one day a US senator is tragically hit by a truck and dies.

His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.

“Welcome to heaven,” 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.”

“No problem, just let me in,” says the man.

“Well, I’d like to, but I 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 eternity.”

“Really, I’ve made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,” says the senator.

“I’m sorry, but we have our rules.”

And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.

Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.

They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne.

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.

Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises…

The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St. Peter

is waiting for him.

“Now it’s time to visit heaven.”

So, 24 hours pass with the senator joining a group of 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.

“Well, then, you’ve spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity.”

The senator reflects for a minute, then he answers: “Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.”

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.

Now the doors of the elevator open and he’s in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage.

He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.

The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. “I don’t understand,” 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 time. Now there’s just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?”

The devil looks at him, smiles and says,

“Yesterday we were campaigning…… Today you voted.”

5. Another
George W. Bush dies after a long life cutting brush and writing his 10 page memoirs.

He ends up in hell and is met by the devil who tells him that they're a bit overcrowded and that he'll have to replace someone who'll be pardoned. However, it will be his choice as to who to replace.

He takes him to a room in which Richard Nixon, holding an anvil, is pushed into a swimming pool and forced to swim to the other side and then forced to swim back with the anvil over and over.

"Well," says the devil, "how about replacing Nixon?"

Bush stammers, "That looks like an awful lot of hard work, and I ain't that good of a swimmer. I'll pass."

The Devil takes him to the next room where Ronald Reagan is shoveling a huge pile of manure from one spot to another and then shoveling it back to the original spot.

"No," says Bush, "that ain't the kind of shit I'm used to shoveling and I got this here bad back."

So, the devil takes him to the last room reserved for presidents. There sits Bill Clinton at a magnificent desk, on a plush chair with Monica Lewinsky kneeling in front of him doing what Monica is famous for.

"Now, there's a job that I can handle, heh-heh." Says, Bush. "I'll take it."

The Devil then says, "OK, Monica, you can go."
