English Original
Three men were standing in line to get into heaven one day. Apparently it had been a busy day, so St. Peter told the first one, "Heaven's nearly full today, and I've been asked to admit only people who have had particularly horrible deaths. So what's your story?"
The first man replied: "Well, I've suspected my wife was cheating on me, so today I came home early to catch her. I searched my 25th-floor apartment and found a man hanging off the balcony railing! I was furious. I beat and kicked him, but he wouldn't fall. So I got a hammer and pounded his fingers until he let go. He fell 25 stories but landed in some bushes, stunned but alive. I couldn't stand it. I ran inside, grabbed the refrigerator, threw it over the edge, and it crushed him. But the stress gave me a heart attack, and I died on the balcony."
"That sounds like a pretty bad day," said Peter, and let the man in.
The second man stepped forward, and Peter explained again about heaven being full and asked for his story.
"It's been a strange day," he said. "I live on the 26th floor. This morning, I was exercising on my balcony when I slipped and fell over the edge. Luckily, I caught the railing of the balcony below. I knew I couldn't hold on long. Suddenly, a man burst onto the balcony. I thought I was saved, but he started beating and kicking me. He then ran inside, got a hammer, and started pounding my hands. I finally let go, fell into the bushes below, and was only stunned. Just when I thought I was okay, a refrigerator fell from the sky and crushed me instantly."
Once again, Peter had to concede that sounded like a horrible death.
The third man came to the front, and Peter repeated the process.
"Picture this," said the third man, "I'm hiding naked inside a refrigerator..."

一天，三个男人排队等着进天堂。显然那天非常忙碌，圣彼得对第一个人说：“今天天堂快满员了，我只能让死得特别惨的人进去。说说你的故事吧？”
第一个男人回答：“嗯，我一直怀疑我妻子对我不忠，所以今天提早回家想抓个现行。我搜遍了我位于25楼的公寓，发现一个男人正吊在阳台栏杆上！我气坏了，对他拳打脚踢，但他就是不松手掉下去。于是我拿了把锤子敲他的手指，他终于松手掉了下去。他从25楼摔下，却掉进了灌木丛，只是晕了过去。我忍无可忍，跑进厨房，抓起冰箱扔了下去，把他砸死了。但极度的压力和愤怒让我心脏病发作，死在了阳台上。”
“听起来真是糟糕的一天。”彼得说着，让他进去了。
第二个男人走上前，彼得又解释了天堂满员的情况，并询问他的死因。
“今天真是奇怪的一天，”他说，“我住在26楼。今天早上我在阳台上锻炼时，脚下一滑掉了下去。幸运的是，我抓住了下面一层阳台的栏杆。我知道我撑不了多久。突然，一个男人冲到阳台上。我以为我得救了，但他却开始对我拳打脚踢。接着他跑进屋里，拿了把锤子开始砸我的手。我终于松了手，掉进了下面的灌木丛，只是晕了过去。就在我以为没事了的时候，一个冰箱从天而降，瞬间把我砸死了。”
彼得不得不再次承认，这听起来确实死得很惨。
第三个男人来到前面，彼得重复了同样的流程。
“想象一下，”第三个男人说，“我当时正光着身子藏在冰箱里……”
