Yodelling Heaven Or Yodelling Hell which is it

OK heres a cowboy conundrum. Its past the last round up and hos is at the pearly gates, ofcourse he's gained entry and he's yodelling his way to the good lords side.

However I'm assured that there are those who could not imagine heaven with yodelling. Irrational as it may seem, Ive heard otherwise good people say such a thing. OK we could be harsh and say its damnation for you unbelievers!

I don't think that would be fair, do you?

So heres the question, will we get to the pearly gates and be given a choice Yodelling or none Yodelling?

That's the big question. Ponder it as you may!!
What would your choice be? Thats my question.

See you in yodelling Heaven!!

Good question. I've given this a lot of thought. Yodelling is one of those things that almost everyone likes up to a point, but the point at which it becomes annoying varies from person to person and can also vary depending on the amount of alcohol one has consumed.

If you wanted to chart the enjoyment:annoyment formula, where the x-axis represents your enjoyment of yodeling and the y-axis was the amount of time spend listening to a yodel, the line would be pretty steep for most people (flatter for southerners, steeper for yankees, flatlined for rappers) . Yodelling is like jalepeno peppers, Sunday sermons, home movies, Keanu Reeves movies, or Young Jeezy records - a little goes a long way and too much is way too much.

You nailed it!

The discussion reminds me of a Far Side Cartoon. On one side, St. Peter was telling new entrants "Welcome to Heaven, here's your harp." The other side featured the devil saying "Welcome to hell, here's your accordion." Of course I think most people on this site would prefer the "devils music". After all, I always thought he kicked Johnny's butt in their fiddle face off.

I'm more of a heaven on earth sort of guy. I guess I've thought the pearly gates just had a bit too much "bling" for my taste. But if I must imagine such a place, I think my ideal surroundings might include the above artists. And I think I'd decorate my mansion with posters such as the above. & hopefully, I'll live next door to Graceland II. But this post does beg the question: What about bag-pipes? You gotta draw the line somewhere...
