There are three men stranded on a supposedly deserted island. As they are searching for any form of civilization, they are confronted and captured by a tribe of cannibals.
The men are bought before the cannibal chief and they beg to be set free. The chief, feeling generous, tells them he will set them free if they can complete one challenge. The men, desperate for freedom, accept immediately.
"Ok," the chief says, "there are two parts to this challenge. For the first part, each of you go out and pick 10 of a type of fruit and return here. I will tell you the second part when you get back."
The men figure it easy enough, so they set out in search of fruit. After a while, the first man to come back is carrying 10 apples.
"Alright," says the chief, "the second part of the challenge is this: you must shove each one of those apples in your ass without uttering a sound. If you succeed, you will be set free. If you fail, you will be killed and eaten by my tribe"
The man, horror struck but desperate, drops his drawers and proceeds to shove 'em in as he counts in his head "1...2...3..." but at 4 the man cries out in pain and is killed and eaten by the tribe.
An hour or so later the second man comes back with 10 blueberries. The chief explains the rules to him and the man thinks "Ha! This will be easy!"
So he drops his pants and starts counting, "1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8..." but at 9 the man bursts out laughing and is killed and eaten by the cannibals.
Now, up in heaven, the two dead men meet. The first guy says to the second "Hey man, why did you start laughing, you could have been freed!
The second guy, still sort of giggly, replies:
"I couldn't help it! I saw the last guy coming back with 10 pineapples!"
