A twenty something man passed away in a car accident and, living the good life, went into heaven. St. Peter greeted him at the gates, consoled him for his early demise and filled him in on the greatest parts of heaven.
"You've made it here, my child," he said before continuing, "This is the most glorious place in creation. There is no pain here. No sorrow, no poverty nor war."
The man was delighted and accepted his fate, having been schooled in the ways of heaven, he spent a few days exploring and catching up with old departed friends, and heroes that'd gone to young and not been alive durring his time. There was discussion with Motzart, Einstein finnaly explained his theory of relativity in a way he could understand.
After a few days he saw a ladder with a man, wearing a fedora, standing next to it and it just went up. He asks the man "where does this ladder go?"
"dats de ladda ta sucess," he sharply dressed ladder guard retorts.
"wow," the man thinks to himself, "if I'm in heaven and I have all this already, what more could there be if I climb the ladder to sucess?" The man however ets a slight pit in his stomach and then begins to wonder, "Is it meant for me? should I not be happy with what I've been given? What exactly is sucess anyway?"
Well the man gets over his aprehension and starts to climb the ladder, and as he does, the rungs break below where his is preventing him from climbing back down. "That's strange," he thinks to himself as he climbs straight up 1,000 feet to the next level. Here there are people playing games, drinking and having a good time. Right next to this ladder is another ladder, going straight up and another man of small stature standing next to it.
"dees ees dee lahdher toe sucess" he pipes up instinctivly knowing what the twentysomethnig was going to ask.
"Wow," the man thinks to himself, This is like a big party, down there was nice but this is even better, and up he climbs, again the rungs break below him.
After climbing for what seems like hours the man lands on a nother level, which looks like a sauna. on the bench is a large gentleman wearing only a towel. Now there's no little man, no ladder, no party, just a large gentleman, his towel, and no shame.
"Is this sucess," the twentysomething lets out, attracting the attention of the gentleman.
"Why yes," The large gentleman syas as he stands up, removing his towel to show a large hairy body, and an impressivly large manhood. "I'm Sess, nice to finally meet you."
The moral of the story is: Don't go blindly looking for sucess when you dont know what it is and are happy with what you have. You might not like the outcome andthere might be no way back.
