Bill Gets His Due, Punishment for Gates
Satan greets him: "Welcome Mr. Gates,
we've been waiting for you. This will be your home for all eternity. You've been
selfish, greedy and a big liar all your life. Now, since you've got me in a good
mood, I'll be generous and give you a choice of three places in which you'll be
locked up forever.
Satan takes Bill to a huge lake of fire in which
millions of poor souls are tormented and tortured. He then takes him to a
massive coliseum where thousands of people are chased about and devoured by
starving lions. Finally, he takes Bill to a tiny room in which there is a bottle
of the finest wine sitting on a table. To Bill's delight, he sees a PC in the
corner. Without hesitation, Bill says "I'll take this option."
"Fine," says Satan, allowing Bill to enter the room. Satan locks the
room after Bill.
As he turns around, he bumps into Lucifer. "That was Bill Gates!"
cried Lucifer. "Why did you give him the best place of all!"
"That's what everyone thinks" snickered Satan.
"The bottle has a hole in it!"
"What about the PC?"
"It's got Windows 95!" laughed Satan.
"And it's missing three keys,"
"Which three?"
"Control, Alt and Delete."
Gates gets punishment - Part II
Bill Gates suddenly dies and finds
himself face to face with God. God stood over Bill Gates and said, "Well Bill,
I'm really confused on this one. It's a tough decision; I'm not sure whether to
send you to Heaven or Hell. After all, you helped society enormously by putting
a computer in almost every home in America, yet you also created that ghastly
Windows '95 among other indiscretions. I believe I'll do something I've never
done before; I'll let you decide where you want to go."
Bill pushed up his glasses, looked up at God and replied, "Could you
briefly explain the difference between the two?" Looking slightly puzzled,
God said, "Better yet, why don't I let you visit both places briefly, then
you can make your decision. Which do you choose to see first, Heaven or Hell?"
Bill played with his pocket protector for a moment, then looked back at
God and said, "I think I'll try Hell first." So, with a flash of lightning
and a cloud of smoke, Bill Gates went to Hell.
When he materialized in Hell, Bill looked around. It was a
beautiful and clean place, a bit warm, with sandy beaches and tall mountains,
clear skies, pristine water, and beautiful women frolicking about. A smile came
across Bill's face as he took in a deep breath of the clean air. "This is
great," he thought, "if this is Hell, I can't wait to see heaven."
Within seconds of his thought, another flash of lightning and a cloud
of smoke appeared, and Bill was off to Heaven. Heaven was a place high
above the clouds, where angels were drifting about playing their harps
and singing in a beautiful chorus. It was a very nice place, Bill thought,
but not as enticing as Hell.
Bill looked up, cupped his hands around his mouth and yelled for
God and Bill Gates was sent to Hell for eternity.
Time passed, and God decided to check on the late billionaire to see
how he was progressing in Hell. When he got there, he found Bill Gates
shackled to a wall in a dark cave amid bone thin men and tongues of fire,
being burned and tortured by demons.
"So, how is everything going?" God asked.
Bill responded with a crackling voice filled with anguish and disappointment,
"This is awful! It's nothing like the Hell I visited the first time!! I can't
believe this is happening! What happened to the other place....with the beaches
and the mountains and the beautiful women?
"That was the demo," replied God.
