When a man went to heaven and expecting to meet a long line, he was pleasantly surprised to see nobody in line at all, except for an angel sitting in a chair with his feet up on a table. "Hello there," said the angel, "I'm Saint Peter, welcome to heaven!" And the man said, "Thank you Saint Peter, but where is everyone?" Saint Peter responded, "Well, you're in luck. Today is just a very slow day, and to make the time pass, I’m giving tours to all new arrivals. Would you like to enjoy a complete guided tour of heaven?" And the man excitedly said, "Gosh, I'd love a tour of heaven! Please lead on!!” And Saint Peter, lead on. Saint Peter then took him everywhere. They went to hear the Heavenly Choir with three hundred angels singing on high, went to the Great Hall of Saints and the Great Temple of Martyrs. And the man was just overwhelmed.
Finally, Saint Peter took him to the Throne Room of God himself. The man's heart skipped a beat when the light at the far end of the room blinded him to the point that he couldn't stand it any longer. He was then escorted out. Saint Peter then walked him into a huge room filled with thousands of clocks of all sizes and shapes. With a puzzled look on his face, the man asked, "What is this room full of clocks all about?" And in a lecturing tone, Saint Peter described, "This is the Room of Souls. Each clock in this room represents a single human soul, and the time on each clock represents how long each is to live. Each and every time a person lies, the hands of the clock move a bit faster." And when the man glanced up and noticed a great number of huge clocks facing downwards, and whizzing round at a great rate of speed, his curiosity got the better part of him and he asked, "What are those clocks?" And Saint Peter replied, "Oh! Those are your politicians’ clocks!! We now use them as fans!!!"
