A hell of a choice

   Did you hear about the Microsoft Windows programmer who died?
   He found himself in front of a committee that decides whether you go
   to Heaven or Hell.

   The committee told the programmer he had some say in the matter and
   asked him if he wanted to see Heaven and Hell before stating his
   preference.

   "Sure," he said, so an angel took him to a place with a sunny beach,
   volleyball, and rock and roll, where everyone was having a great time.

   "Wow!" he exclaimed. "Heaven is great!"

   "Wrong," said the angel. "That was Hell. Want to see Heaven?"

   "Sure!" So the angel took him to another place. Here a bunch of people
   were sitting in a park playing bingo and feeding dead pigeons.

   "This is Heaven?" asked the Windows programmer.

   "Yup," said the angel.

   "Then I'll take Hell." Instantly he found himself plunged up to his
   neck in red-hot lava, with the hosts of the damned in torment around
   him. "Where's the beach? The music? The volleyball?" he screamed
   frantically to the angel.

   "That was the demo," she replied as she vanished.
