I posted this in response to thread in the P&R Forum but it is a joke so I'll put it here, too. I first heard it with Richard Nixon as the protagonist and have since heard the same joke with 3 or 4 subsequent Presidents as the protagonist. Last year I heard it again with Hillary Clinton as the protagonist.
Generic Politician (GP) dies and is told that he or she will have a tour of first Heaven and then Hell before deciding where to spend eternity.
GP is taken on a tour of Heaven and is, quite frankly, bored. Lots of people playing harps and singing psalms and talking about virtue.
GP is taken on a tour of Hell and really is impressed. First of all, most of the people he or she knew and liked on earth are there. It is a wonderful resort with a golf course, spa, fancy restaurants, swimming pools, and hot tubs. Everybody seems to be having a great time.
The next day, GP is told to make the choice. GP announces that he or she chooses Hell.
GP is transported to Hell again but it has changed: Now it is a giant torture chamber and GP is on a rack with burning brimstone pouring over his or her body all the time.
"What happened to the nice resort you showed me yesterday?" screams GP.
"Yesterday we were campaigning for your vote," says Satan. "Today, you already voted for us."
