He opens it and its Death who has come to take his soul. Being the rational, death-fearing man he is, he decides to delay his demise by inviting Death in. Death agrees and is immediately treated with a lavish dinner and is given several expensive gifts. The man says "Death, since I respect you so much, I have prepared a steamy bath filled with exquisite bath salts for you as well. Won't you accept?" and Death agrees. While Death is taking his bath, the man changes Death's list of souls to collect so that his name is on the bottom. Meanwhile, Death finishes his bath and comes out.
"Wow! I've never been treated so well before by one of my clients. I think i'll do my list from the bottom up instead."
