A soldier, in full combat gear, comes to consciousness in some strange featureless white room. Blood drips from him as he gets to his feet. A television on a cart rolls over, and the soldier presses Play on the attached VCR. The message on the TV screen tells him that he has died and gone to Heaven--which appears to consist of nothing but a TV playing video of flowers and green fields and such. The shocked soldier runs off, and gets some more surprises.

* AteHisGun: The second time the soldier tries to kill himself. He's already dead, so all that happens is that he has a big goopy hole in the back of his head.
* DramaticDrop: The confused soldier drops his helmet when a TV on a stand comes rolling up to him.
* DrivenToSuicide: The soldier tries this a couple of times, but shooting himself doesn't work, because he's already dead. All he's left with is a clean hole through his head from the first time, and a hole in the back of his head the second time, when he AteHisGun.
