In a Japanese Prisoner of War camp during the Second World War, the Commandant called the three senior officers of the British, American and Italian prisoners into his office and told them.
“I will release a prisoner from each of your countries if they can complete a task I assign to them.” The officers call for their best men, and they are sent into the commandants’ office. “I want each of you to go into the jungle, and come back with 100 of any one particular item,” says the commandant. "And then I will I will reveal the second part of the test to you.. “At no time are you permitted to laugh. If you laugh at any time; Instead of freedom, you will spend the rest of your time as a POW in solitary confinement.” Half an hour later, the British soldier returned. The Commandant asked him, “OK Tommy, what have you brought back?” The soldier replied.” “I’ve got 100 peanuts.” “OK.” Said the Commandant, “I want you to bend over and stuff the peanuts up your rectum. Don’t forget. If you fail, it’s solitary confinement for the duration.” The squaddie dropped his pants, and proceeded to comply with the Commandants’ instructions. ’97, 98, 99, 100.’ The soldier stood up to attention, with a straight face, and the Commandant congratulated him. ”Well done. You may collect you belongings, wish your comrades goodbye, and you will be handed over to the Red Cross officials at the border.” An hour later, the American GI returned, and the Commandant asked him. “What have you brought back ‘Joe’?” “I’ve got 100 grapes.” Replied the GI. “OK, I want you to bend over and stuff the grapes up your rectum. Don’t forget, if you laugh, you will spend the duration of the war in solitary confinement.” The American dropped his trousers, bent over, and proceeded to comply with the Commandants order. “97, 98, 99…” He strained, then suddenly fell to the ground in convulsions of laughter. “You fool. You idiot,” shouted the Commandant. “You could have been free. You only needed one more grape. Instead, it’s solitary confinement for you. Why did you laugh?” “I couldn’t help it,” spluttered the GI, tears streaming down his cheeks. “I’ve just seen Luigi coming through the gates with a sack full of coconuts!” |
