Ok, I have to admit it. I fell hook, line and sinker for the article that was published today in the Winnipeg Sun stating that the Canadian government was set to introduce a tax on so-called ‘sin-sites’. The tax was supposedly aimed at sites that contained pornography, online gambling options and social networking such as Facebook. I was hopping mad, screaming obscenities to the screen and yelling that they had no right to impose such ridiculous tax on internet users and encroach on our freedom. And then this morning I read that it had been an April Fool’s joke. Oh. So I am red-faced and hanging my head in shame that my naturally cynical nature didn’t pick this up. The joke’s on me!
And here the joke’s on him: Bill Gates reaches the gates of heaven and hell. The angel says: “We don’t know where to put you. You can choose between heaven and hell.” Bill peeks in to heaven and sees old men sitting around a table, bored out of their minds. He checks out hell and sees stunning women, sex, rock and roll and lots of gambling. “Hey, I’m a gambling man,” says Gates, “Take me to hell”. He enters the gates of hell and is immediately thrown into the pit of everlasting flames. “Why???” yells Gates. “I saw the women and the sex and the gambling with my own eyes!” “Oh that?” said the devil. “That was just the demo version.”
