To his right is standing an attractive women, and to his left is a ladder.
The woman speaks, "Come with me through the gate and spend eternity with me, or climb the ladder to success."
The man always eager to get ahead in life chooses to climb the ladder.
The man finds an even more beautiful woman standing in front of another gate.
Next to her is another ladder.
The woman says, "Come with me through the gate and all your fantasies will be granted, or climb the ladder to success."
This time the man is tempted, but his greed takes over and he climbs the ladder higher.
He again encounters a woman.
This woman, however; is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen.
She says, "come with me and I will satisfy your deepest desires forever, or climb the ladder to success."
The man can't believe his luck.
He decides to take his chances and climbs the ladder.
He comes to another gate.
This time there is no woman waiting for him.
Suddenly an old overweight man walks up to him.
"Are you God?" the man asks.
"No, I'm Sess."
