Anyway variation 1.
Mohammad has blown himself up in the cause of Jihad and there he is in the place that he can enjoy the company of the 72 virgins.
He suddenly starts to feel uncomfortable, though as they all appear to be giggling. He looks at himself and starts to feel like he is not a complete man (or a complete soul or wharrever they are supposed to be).
Shocked he makes his way back to the admin building and explains his plight to Allah's point soul. The official looks inside a book and nods.
"Ah well", he remarks. "You know when you blew yourself up for the cause, we had to put all the bits back together for when you came here, and there was one bit we could not find - so it looks like these virgins will stay virgins for eternity. Sorry and all that, but I am sure that the sacrifice was worth it ....".
Variation 2.
Mohammad has blown himself up for the sake of Jihad, and finds himself in the after-life. First he is driven across a river by an old man in a boat who is furious that he doesn't have the coin to pay him. Then he is accompanied past a three-headed guard dog to the place where it is all decided what they will be doing for eternity. He doesn't understand the language, and merely picks up a word that sounds like "Sisyphus".
He is taken outside, in chains, to a steep hill. Already halfway up the hill a very old soul is rolling a heavy boulder up the hill.
Mohammad is quite concerned as to where his 72 virgins have got to, especially when he has to start rolling another very heavy boulder up the steep hill. It becomes all the more frustrating that each time he just about gets to the top it falls all the way back down. He notes though that his new companion has seemingly the same problem.
This seems to go on for, well, eternity. He is a bright soul though and eventually starts to pick up the language. After seeming eons (well an eternity), he finally gets to talk to this "Sisyphus" character in a way they can just about understand each other.
Apparently they are speaking some form of ancient Greek dialect. When Sisyphus hears about "Allah" and "72 virgins" though he is very confused and simply reverts to pushing his boulder up the hill again.
Eternity seems to pass, or a large chunk of it. Finally when one day Mohammad reverts to the subject of "Allah" and the "72 virgins", Sisyphus explains to him.
There is no "Allah", but rather someone called "Zeus" who runs the whole show from up top. His brother, Hades, runs this place, called "Tartarus", and they are here for eternity pushing boulders up cliffs. And as for "72 virgins", that's for Zeus to enjoy, not anyone else - and 72 may be a rather low number thinking about it!
