A U.S. Senator died and met St. Peter at the gates of heaven, St. Peter said " we don't get many Senators coming through so we don't know exactly where you belong. how about we let you decide, you will spend a day in heaven and then a day in hell and you can pick where you want to stay for eternity. so the first day the senator sits around on a cloud picking a harp with father Abraham. After the day in heaven, he climbs on the elevator down to hell, he is greeted by the devil and all his previously departed politicians on a beautiful golf course. He is shocked to find hell so pleasant to which the devil responds that they tell people how bad it is just to keep everyone from wanting to be there. After golfing all day and spending the evening at a very impressive sports bar, he returns to St. Peter to make his decision. The senator expresses his gratitude for letting him make his own choice and while heaven was nice, he states that he felt more at home in hell. St. Peter reminds him that he will be stuck with his decision for all eternity , to which the senator affirms his decision and climbs back on the elevator down to hell. When the elevator doors open he is met by a hot dry desert with trash all over and more trash falling from the sky. His fellow politicians are walking around miserably picking up trash, the devil thrusts a trash bag at him and angrily shouts "get to work". I don't understand the senator insists, how is it possible that yesterday you were all so friendly and this place was all beautiful and today its the exact opposite? The devil responds "oh its quite simple actually, yesterday we were campaigning, today you voted."
