A COLLEGE DRAMA GROUP PRESENTED A PLAY IN WHICH ONE
CHARACTER WOULD STAND ON A TRAP DOOR AND ANNOUNCE
"I DESCEND INTO HELL!" A STAGEHAND BELOW WOULD THEN
PULL A ROPE, THE TRAP DOOR WOULD SPRING AND THE ACTOR
WOULD DROP FROM VIEW. THE PLAY WAS WELL RECEIVED
WHEN THE ACTOR PLAYING THE PART BECAME ILL, ANOTHER
ACTOR WHO WAS QUITE OVERWEIGHT TOOK HIS PLACE. WHEN
THE NEW ACTOR ANNOUNCED, "I DESCEND INTO HELL!" THE
STAGEHAND PULLED THE ROPE AND THE ACTOR BEGAN HIS
PLUNGE, BUT BECAME HOPELESSLY STUCK. NO AMOUNT OF
TUGGING ON THE ROPE COULD MAKE HIM DESCEND. ONE
STUDENT IN THE BALCONY JUMPED UP AND YELLED.
"HALLELUJAH! HELL IS FULL!"
