A chap died, but before he entered the pearly gates the gate attendant told him he could check out all the amenities available in Heaven and Hell before he made his choice.

He chose to visit Hell first and upon opening the gates saw several of his mates playing on a world-class golf course, which was flanked by white sand beaches and had a perfect left-hand break surf and the sun was shining.

He thought to himself Father Mac got this wrong; there's no sign of the fearsome Devil.
On returning to Heaven the sun was shining there too but everyone seemed to be content to float around on clouds.

Being quite active while on Earth he thought there's not really much to do for eternity, so he told the attendant he'd go to Hell.

On returning there was the Devil, decked out in all his finery, who said: 'Welcome to Hell”, and flung open the gates to a vista that looked like Tikitere. 'But”, gasped the man; 'What happened to paradise?”

'Yesterday”, said the Devil, 'we were canvassing - today you voted.”
