A man who has just died finds himself
standing at the gates of Heaven. To his right is standing an attractive
women, and to his left is a ladder. The woman speaks, "Come with me through
the gate and spend eternity with me, or climb the ladder to success." The
man always eager to get ahead in life chooses to climb the ladder.
The man finds an even more beautiful woman
standing in front of another gate. Next to her is another ladder. The woman
says, "Come with me through the gate and all your fantasies will be granted,
or climb the ladder to success." This time the man is tempted, but his
greed takes over and he climbs the ladder higher.
He again encounters a woman. This woman,
however; is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. She says, "come
with me and I will satisfy your deepest desires forever, or climb the ladder
to success." The man can't believe his luck. He decides to take his chances
and climbs the ladder. He comes to another gate. This time there is no
woman waiting for him. Suddenly an old overweight man walks up to him.
"Are you God?" the man asks. "No, I'm Sess."
