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
>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!'
