Death of A Salesman
|
Unfortunately, an account manager died, and when he reached the pearly gates, he was met by St Peter. St Peter informed our account manager that they had a special programme for account managers, he was to spend one day in Heaven and then one day in Hell, and then he could make a choice and decide where he wanted to go. The account manager thought this a bit strange, but the first day was to be spent in Heaven, which was a bit of a relief. Heaven was a pleasant place, floating around on the clound, in white flowing robes, with harps in the background, but for an account manager he found it a bit boring. At the end of the day he went back to his room, and spent a terrified sleepless night fearful of what would happen in his day in Hell. He was shaking when he entered the lift, but immediately the door opened after a speedy descent, he was amazed at what he saw. It was a beautiful sunny day, he was close to the first tee of a magnificent golf course and his friends were waiting for him. He had a couple of rounds of golf, some drinks and an excellent meal in the evening at the superb club house, and the Devil - who was the Head Waiter - was smiling and helpful. He then went back up in the lift knowing he would have to give his decision - a difficult one!!! - to St Peter in the morning. The account manager came straight to the point, and told St Peter he was going to go to Hell. St Peter smiled, wished him the best and escorted him to the lift. The account manager was looking forward to eternity where he could play as much golf as he wanted, and before he knew it the lift had reached the bottom and the door opened. Horror of horrors!!! There was not a golf course in sight, but fiery furnaces being stoked by his friends, with a Devil breathing fire and brimstone, and our account manager was immediately sent to the nearest furnace. The account manager just had time to ask the Devil what was happening, and he heard his reply just as he was being given a large shovel. "Yesterday you were a prospect" said the Devil, "but today you are a client" |
