An HR manager dies ....

One day while walking downtown, a Human Resources woman

was hit by a bus and was tragically killed. Her soul

arrived up in heaven where she was met at the Pearly

Gates by St. Peter himself.

"Welcome to Heaven," said St. Peter. "Before you get

settled in though, it seems we have a problem. You see,

strangely enough, we've never once had an HR manager

make it this far and we're really not sure what to do

with you."

"No problem, just let me in," said the woman.

"Well, I'd like to, but I have higher orders. What

we're going to do is let you have a day in Hell and a

day in Heaven and then you can choose whichever one you

want to spend an eternity in," the Saint replied.

"Actually, I think I've made up my mind... I prefer to

stay in Heaven."

"Sorry, we have our rules..."

And with that St. Peter put the HR manager in an

elevator and it went down-down-down to Hell. The doors

opened and the HR manager found herself stepping out

onto the putting green of a beautiful golf course. In

the distance was a country club and standing in front

of her were all her friends - fellow HR professionals

that she had worked with. They were all dressed in

evening gowns and cheering for her. They ran up and

kissed her on both cheeks and they talked about old

times. They played an excellent round of golf and at

night went to the country club where she enjoyed an

excellent steak and lobster dinner. She met the Devil

who was actually a really nice guy (kinda cute) and she

had a great time telling jokes and dancing. The HR

manager was having such a good time that before she

knew it, it was time to leave. Everybody shook her hand

and waved goodbye as she got on the elevator. The

elevator went up-up-up and opened back up at the Pearly

Gates where St. Peter was waiting for her.

"Now it's time to spend a day in Heaven" he said. So

the HR manager spent the next 24 hours lounging around

on the clouds and playing the harp and singing. She had

a great time and before she knew it, her 24 hours were

up and St. Peter came and got her.

"So, you've spent a day in Hell and you've spent a day

in Heaven. Now you must choose your eternity," he said.

The HR manager paused for a second and then replied,

"Well, I never thought I'd say this. I mean, Heaven has

been really great and all, but I think I had a better

time in Hell."

So, St. Peter escorted her to the elevator and again

the HR manager went down-down-down back to Hell.

When the doors of the elevator opened she found herself

standing in a desolate wasteland covered in garbage and

filth. She saw her friends were dressed in rags and

were picking up garbage and putting it in sacks for the

evening meal. The Devil came up to her and put his arm

around her and laughed at her.

"I don't understand," stammered the HR manager.

"Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and a

country club and we ate lobster and we danced and had a

great time. Now all there is a wasteland of garbage and

all my friends look miserable."

The Devil looked at her and grinned: "That's because

yesterday we were recruiting you... but today you're

staff."
