Two silk worms had a race. They ended up in a tie.

I will say that when he got his money, Bill Gates did fund a large charity working for the improvement of humankind.

"The primary stated goals of the foundation are to enhance healthcare and reduce extreme poverty across the world, and to expand educational opportunities and access to information technology in the U.S.".

Unlike many oligarchs, so I wouldn't be as harsh on him as I would on some of those narcissists.



Bill Gates died and met God.

God said, "Well, Bill, I'm really confused on this one. I'm not sure whether to send you to Heaven or to Hell. After all, you helped society enormously by putting a computer in almost every home in the world and yet you created that ghastly Windows. I'm going to do something I've never done before. I'm going to let you decide where you want to go."

Bill said, "What's the difference between the two?"

God said, "It might help you decide if you took a peek at both places. Shall we look at Hell first?"

Bill was amazed. He saw a clean white sandy beach with clear water.

There were thousands of beautiful men and women running around, playing in the water, laughing and frolicking about.

The sun was shining and the temperature was perfect.

“This is great!" said Bill. “If this is Hell, I can't wait to see Heaven."

God said, "Let's go!" and off they went to Heaven.

Bill saw puffy white clouds in a beautiful blue sky, with angels drifting about playing harps and singing.

It was nice, but surely not as enticing as Hell.

Bill thought for only a brief moment and rendered his decision.

“God, I do believe I would prefer to go to Hell."

"As you wish," said God.

Two weeks later, God decided to check up on the late billionaire to see how things were going.

He found Bill shackled to a wall, screaming in hot flames in a dark cave as he was being tortured by demons with pitchforks.

“How ya doin', Bill?" asked God.

Bill groaned "This is awful! This is not what I expected at all! What happened to the beach and the beautiful women playing in the water?"

"Oh, that," said God. “That was the screen saver."
