Upon entering Heaven, Bobby Gate’s angels had him list his earthly sins, so his soul would be free within Heaven’s realm. 1
However, after two days, Heaven’s angels ushered Bobby to his new office, tossing a black There's No Place Like 127.0.0.1 T-shirt at him. 2
Bobby learned that his mom was indeed wrong; crime does pay. 3
Author notes
127.0.0.1 is tech speak for HOME it's the home IP address. 'Gates' references Bill Gates of Microsoft fame
Uh yeah. I know techies and how they are [rolls eyes]

I didn't see the picture, but I did think this was funny. His efforts were worth a try and the little kick at the end about his mom not always being right was an extra boost to the write.~

Awww
No matter 'cause I gotta get fictional practice 
Your new name is growing on me

I understood Gates, I'm an IT person. I just didn't know about home.
-
Took the picture off Susan- just liked the angels in heaven, not about internet at all And that tshirt means no place like home. That is an IP address that means HOME. It's my first 55 word contest so I don't know, it's just what came to me. Thank you for reading me
-
A joke is no fun when people done get it so sorry! It means HOME and i took the picture off cause i only liked it as a pic of angels with computers; but not about internet nope. Sorry!
-
so what I want to know is how yu got the IP for this heavenly office.
I am not a techy so I think most of this sort of got past me. But the idea of someones heaven being an office, a black tshirt and internet access sort of unnerves me..
Can you maybe give us a translation after the contest is over?

I'm of two minds whether "earthy" or "earthly" would apply, you choose.
I'm obtuse today, what is 127.0.0.1? -
LOL! Good grief, no internet in heaven? Well that's going to be hell
Splendid piece! Thanks for the grins and good luck to you in the contest!
