Mr. Gates, I understand that having accumulated such wealth, you’d like a promotion. Now listen, I know you’d like to be God, but I’m afraid that position is not vacant (yes, I know you thought it was, but you’ve been misinformed). Oh, wait a minute; I heard, just yesterday, a rumor that Lucifer (yes, that Lucifer) is contemplating retirement; as a matter of fact, he’s been wanting to, but hasn’t been able to find a suitable replacement. Why don’t you go down there and discuss the position with him? Really, I’m confident he would find you a most worthy successor, and I’m sure he’d be delighted to let you start right away, should the two of you reach a suitable agreement. Of course, you’ll need some help, as it really is a rather big job, but I’m sure your elitist friends (like Jack, and Mark and Jeff, and Warren, and of course George,....well, you know them all, anyway) all have the appropriate skill set, and even better, their philosophy is already in line with the spirit of the enterprise, so to speak, so I’m sure they would be delighted to join your team down there. Of course, you’ll also need some politicians, but since so many of those have already sold their souls to one or another of your set, you can just take those with you; I’m sure they’ll fit right in. Bureaucracy? Yes, but since I’m certain Hell already has layers upon layers of that, I think you can make do, at least for a while... Oh, and about the climate there; well, it IS a bit warm, but I’m sure you and your new staff will get used to it in a few millennia or so...Listen, I hate to cut this short, but I have a steak (a real one), on the grill, and it’s just about ready; anyway, congratulations in advance on your new position! Enjoy!
