Cannibals and Fruit This is almost certainly a repost, but I'm fairly new and it was one of my favorite jokes growing up, so I'm going for it. Three men who were lost in the forest were captured by cannibals. The cannibal king told the prisoners that they had to take part in an ancient trial. If just one of them could pass, they'd all be set free, but if all three failed, they'd be killed and eaten. The first step of the trial was to go to the forest and get ten pieces of the same kind of fruit. So all three men went their separate ways to gather fruits. The first one came back and said to the king, ""I brought ten apples."" The king then explained the trial to him: ""You must shove the fruits up your ass one at a time without any expression on your face whatsoever, or you'll be eaten."" The first apple went in... then after a bit of trouble, a second. But as he attempted to work the third apple in, he winced out in pain, so he was taken aside. The second prisoner arrived and showed the king ten berries. When the king explained the trial to him, he thought to himself, ""This should be easy!"" And so he began: 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8... and on the ninth berry he burst out in laughter and was taken aside with the first prisoner. The first prisoner gave the second prisoner a quizzical look as he came over to join him. ""What happened?! I thought you had it!"" ""I did too, but I saw the third guy coming back with an armful of pineapples.""
