A TEACHER: A teacher dies and goes to heaven, as all teachers do. St. Peter is giving her the tour, and mentions, "You also get to choose a vocation". The teacher replies, "Well, I love teaching, can I do that?" "Sure", replies Peter. So he takes her to the schoolhouse. It's a small, one-room school, with about 20 desks and 40 screaming kids. There are not enough books, no chalk, and barely enough space for her desk. The room is a shambles and is in horrible repair. The teacher scratches her head, but gets to work. After a couple of days, she approaches Peter and says, "I don't know if I can handle this." So Peter says, "Well, here's the alternative..." and snaps his fingers. The teacher finds herself at the very gates of hell, and Lucifer himself is giving her the tour, and mentions, "You also get to choose a vocation". She hesitates, but says, "I was a teacher." Before she can continue, the Lord of the Flies says, "Very well! Over there is the school." It's a beautiful, new, mansionlike building. The first classroom inside has her name on the door already. There are 10 students, a few extra desks, a prodigious library of reference and instructional books, a computer lab, a closet-full of paper, pencils, crayons, microscopes, anything she needs. Puzzled, she turns to Satan and says, "I don't understand. Why are the conditions so poor in heaven, and so wonderful here?" Old Scratch replies, "Well, when you asked for these things in life, where did your administrators tell you to go?"
