Going to Hell
7 Apr 2002

     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 trapdoor would open, and the character would plunge through.  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!"
