There was a man who had lived a life of absolute virtue. He never sped, he never lied, he recycled religiously, and he always returned his shopping carts to the corral. He was, by all accounts, a saint. So, when he peacefully passed away in his sleep, he wasn’t surprised to find himself standing at the end of a very long, cosmic queue.
As he shuffled forward, he noticed the people ahead of him chatting about their final moments. Some were confused, some were sad, but he felt calm. Finally, he reached the front of the line.
There stood St. Peter, majestic and glowing, behind a grand podium. Behind him were two massive doors. St. Peter glanced at his clipboard, looked up at the man, and simply said:
“Heaven.”
One of the doors swung open. The man peeked inside. It was… pleasant. People were sitting quietly, reading books, hugging warmly, chatting in soft tones, and children were playing gently in the background. It was serene. It was peaceful. It was… boring.
Then, the other door swung open slightly, just by accident. The man’s eyes widened.
Inside, he saw beer kegs stacked as far as the eye could see. Men were lounging on velvet chairs, surrounded by stunningly beautiful women who were crawling all over them, filling their glasses endlessly, laughing, and partying like it was forever Friday night.
The man blinked. He looked at the quiet reading room. He looked at the eternal keg stand. He turned back to St. Peter, confused.
“I don’t mean to question your divine judgement,” the man said cautiously, “but… Hell looks a lot more entertaining.”
St. Peter sighed, leaned over the podium, and lowered his voice to a conspiratorial whisper.
“I’ll let you in on a secret, son. That’s the illusion.”
He pointed a heavenly finger toward the vision of the party.
“Those kegs? They have holes in the bottom. The beer drains out before you can take a sip.”
The man’s face fell. “Oh.”
St. Peter continued, his expression deadpan:
“And the women… Do Not.”
