Keep a Straight Face
![]()
Tom, Dick and Harry, three explorers, were captured by cannibals in the jungles of Borneo. The cannibal chief said to them (amazingly, he could speak English!):
"If you pass the tribal test we will let you live. Go into the jungle and gather 10 items of the same fruit."
So the three guys scampered into the woods, and Tom came back first with 10 apples. The chief explained the trial to him:
"You must shove the fruits up your ass without any expression on your face or you will be eaten."
The first apple went in okay, but Tom winced in pain on the second apple and was promptly killed and went to heaven (he was a good explorer).
Dick came back with 10 berries, and the chief explained the trial to him as well. Dick didn't think it would be too tough, and began.
1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8...
But on the ninth berry he burst out in laughter and was promptly killed.
Tom and Dick met in heaven where Tom asked, "Dick, why did you laugh? You almost got away with it!"
Dick replied, "I couldn't help it. I saw Harry coming with an arm load of pineapples."
