Three men all suffer an untimely death on the very same day. They all wind up in purgatory and each have a sneaking suspicion that they will unfortunately end up in Hell for their various evil deeds committed on Earth. As this thought occurs to each of them, Satan suddenly appears before the three men. Much to their delight, Satan offers each of them one final chance to escape a tortuous eternity in the fiery bowels of Hell. Satan says to them, "Gentlemen, you will be granted escape from Hell and returned to Earth if you successfully complete the task I request from you."

Eagerly, the three men question exactly what it is that they must do in order to return to Earth. Satan tells them, "You must select a fruit of your choice and cram it up your ass without laughing. If you do this you will be granted your freedom to return to Earth." The three figure that this sounds reasonable enough. The first man selects a peach. While he is positioning himself to start inserting the fruit he begin to snicker because the fuzz on it tickles his bottom. POOF! Before he knows it, he is in Hell. As he looks around his new environment, POOF! The second man appears next to him. The first man asks which fruit he selected that made him laugh and landed him in Hell. The second man replies, "I chose a cherry." The first man, puzzled how such a small fruit could possibly cause him to laugh, asked him what went wrong. To this, the second man replies, "I was getting along quite well with it right up until I made the mistake of looking at the last man holding a watermelon."
