A Frenchman, an Englishman, and a New Yorker are captured by
cannibals.
The chief cannibal comes to them and says, ''The bad news is
that now that we've caught you, we're going to kill you, put you
in a pot, cook you, eat you, and then use your skins to build a
canoe. The good news is that you get to choose how you die.''
The Frenchman says, ''I take zee sword.''
The chief gives him a sword, he says, ''Vive la France!'' and
runs himself through.The Englishman says, ''Right--a pistol for
me, please.''
The chief gives him a pistol, he points it at himself, says,
''God save the queen!'' and shoots.
The New Yorker says, ''Gimme a fork.''
The chief is puzzled, but he shrugs and gives him a fork. The
New Yorker takes the fork and starts jabbing himself all over
the stomach, the sides, the chest, everywhere. There's blood
gushing out all over; it's horrible!
The chief is appalled, and asks, ''What in the world are you
doing?''
The New Yorker says, ''So much for your stupid canoe!''
