My favourite agency joke

With Russell Brand still lamenting the impact of his Sachs joke today, I thought I’d share my more tasteful agency favourite.

An ad exec dies and his soul is met by St Peter who offers him the choice of Heaven or Hell. He asks to see both and first visits Hell. When the lift doors open he is greeted by a huge crowd of friendly people and they eat a fine meal in sumptuous surroundings and party for hours. He then visits Heaven. When the lift doors open he is greeted by a scene of tranquil contemplation, harp playing and poetry recital.

St Peter asks him for his choice. “Well, Heaven was nice but Hell seemed more of a party place so I choose Hell”.

This time when the lift opens he is greeted with a scene of total desolation and the Devil with a whip in his hands. “I don’t understand – yesterday there was a party, feasting and dancing all night”. The Devil just shrugs. “Yesterday we were pitching. Now you’re a client”.
