A man died and went to Heaven. After reaching the gates to
Heaven the man was talking with Saint Peter and he asked, "I know I was good
during my life, and I really appreciate being brought to Heaven, but I'm
really curious... What does Hell look like?"
So Saint Peter thought about it a moment and finally said, "I'll tell you
what, I'll let you see what Hell looks like before you are officially
entered into Heaven. Come with me." And so Saint Peter lead the man to an
elevator and said, "Take this elevator to the very bottom floor. When the
door opens you will see what Hell looks like, but whatever you do, do not
get out of the elevator."
The man said "Thank you" and then climbed into the elevator and hit the
button for the lowest floor. After nearly an hour waiting in the elevator
the doors opened and the man peered out. Before him was a lifeless frozen
wasteland. All the man could see were huge mountains of ice through blankets
of snow. Remembering what Saint Peter said, the man quickly pushed the
button for the top floor, the doors closed and he traveled back up to
Heaven.
After returning to Heaven the man approached Saint Peter and said, "I'm
ready to enter into Heaven now, but before I do I have just one more
question." "Go ahead", replied Saint Peter, and so the man asked, "I thought
Hell would be fire and brimstone, but instead all I saw was snow and ice. Is
that what it's really like?"
Saint Peter thought about this for a second and finally answered, "Snow and
ice, huh. I guess the Denver Broncos finally won the Super Bowl !!"
