The Devil & Mr. Jackson
One day in the future, Jesse Jackson has a heart attack and dies. He
immediately goes to hell, where the devil is waiting for him. "I don't
know what to do here," says the devil. "You are on my list, but I
have no room for you.
You definitely have to stay here, so I'll tell you what I'm going to
do.
I've got a couple of folks here who weren't quite as bad
as you. I'll let one of them go, but you have to take their place. I'll
even let YOU decide who leaves."
Jesse thought that sounded pretty good, so the devil opened the door to
the first room. In it, was Ted Kennedy and a large pool of water. He kept
diving in and surfacing, empty handed. Over and over and over he dove
in and surfaced with nothing. Such was his fate in hell. "No," Jesse said.
"I don't think so. I'm not a good swimmer and I don't think I could do
that all day long."
The devil led him to the door of the next room. In it was Al Gore
with a sledgehammer and a room full of rocks. All he did was swing
that hammer, time after time after time. "No, I've got this problem with
my shoulder. I would be in constant agony if all I could do was break
rocks all day," commented Jesse.
The devil opened a third door. Through it, Jesse saw Bill Clinton
lying on the floor with his arms tied over his head and his legs restrained in
a spread-eagle pose. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky, doing what she
does best. Jesse looked at this in shocked disbelief, and finally said,
Yeah, I can handle this." The devil smiled and said................
(This is priceless)
"OK, Monica, you're free to go."
