Plot[]

Bill was a businessman who had hired Jenny as a personal trainer, not knowing she was a gold digger attempting to steal Bill from his wife. While helping Bill lift a heavy barbell, she notices he has an erection which disgusts his wife causing her to storm off with Bill running after her in embarrassment. A somewhat-aroused Jenny decides to practice her clean and jerk technique, Jenny added extra weight and lifted the weight, but when lifting it she put her right leg in a bad position and drops the barbell on the back of her neck, severing her spinal cord and windpipe. She collapses to the ground as blood drools from her mouth and she eventually dies due to an inability to breathe, sending her to Hell.
