Eternal Life vs Toaster

Jesus said to his disciples, "Go forth and ye shall receive eternal life." Thomas came fifth, however, so he only got a toaster.

Explanation

Experiment

The joke plays on the biblical idea of receiving 'eternal life' as a reward, but then comically subverts this expectation. Instead of something spiritual, Thomas, coming in fifth place, gets a mundane and random prize - a toaster. It's funny because it's absurd and unexpected.
