223 A Screen Saver 屏幕保护画
Upon dying, Bill Gates went to purgatory. St. Peter said to him, “Bill, you have done some good things and some bad things. Now I am going to let you decide where you want to go.” So, Bill took a look at hell and saw beautiful women running around on beautiful beach. Then he took a look at heaven and it was nice, you know harps and singing and worship and stuff like that. So he said to St. Peter that he would like to go to hell. About a week later, St. Peter went down to hell to check on Bill. There he saw him, being whipped by demons. He said to St. Peter, “What happened to all the beautiful women and the beach?” Peter replied, “That was just the screen saver.”
比尔·盖茨死的时候到了炼狱。圣彼得对他说:“比尔,你做了一些好事,也做了一些坏事。现在我让你自己决定到哪里去。”于是,比尔看了一下地狱,看到漂亮的女人在漂亮的海滩上奔跑。然后他又看了一下天堂。那里不错,有竖琴、唱歌、崇拜等等那一套。他对圣彼得说他想去地狱。大约一星期以后,圣彼得到地狱去看比尔。他正在受恶魔鞭打。他问圣彼得说:“那些美女和海滩是怎么一回事?”圣彼得说:“那只是一幅屏幕保护画。”
