Pineapples

An Englishman, a Spaniard, and a Frenchman were on a ship headed towards the New World. On their journey, they encountered a bad storm, and were shipwrecked. They awoke and found themselves on an island, tied up and captives of a cannibal tribe.

The leader of the cannibals tells them that if they value their life, they can be released, but on one condition. Each of them has to run into the forest on the island, find ten fruits, come back and shove them up their ass without wincing, laughing, or otherwise making any sound. If they fail, they will be killed immediately.

So the Englishman runs into the forest, comes back with ten bananas and starts the deed. He manages to get one banana inside, and starts the second. Unable to stand the pain he screams and is promptly put to death.

The Spaniard then runs into the forest and runs back with ten berries and begins his trial. He manages to get one, two, three....seven......eight....nine...and then unexpectedly bursts out laughing. He is promptly put to death.

Up in heaven, the Englishman sees the newly arrived Spaniard and questions him “What happened? You were doing so well. You were almost a free man!!”

The Spaniard says “Yeah, I know; I really think I could have made it...but when I saw the Frenchman running back out of the forest with ten pineapples in his hands, I just lost it!!”
