What happens to Sisyphus if he just... Let the boulder roll all the way down?

Then one must imagine Sisyphus lazy. Repetitive toil in exchange for the right to exist is simply the natural order.

Hermes: "Shouldn't he have a more severe punishment for not performing his punishment?"

Hades: "What am I supposed to punish him with? A second boulder he won't push?"

(Also to complete the image: These are the versions from the Disney Hercules)

I'm sure that after half an eternity, Sisyphus would start to get creative with it. I bet he surfed down the mountain on the boulder once just to see if he could.
