A Brit, a Frenchman, and an American were sailing and crashed into an island full of cannibals.

The cannibals catch all 3 and tell them they will kill them all, tan their skins, and use their hides to make leather canoes.

To be courteous, the cannibals give all 3 men the choice of how they want to die, and will allow the men to commit suicide.

The Brit goes first and asks for a revolver. He’s provided one, yells out “God save the Queen!” and shoots himself in the head.

The Frenchman goes next and asks for a French Sabre. He yells “Viva Le France!” as he runs himself through and falls dead.

The American, in stoic resolve says, “Just bring me a fork.” The cannibals look at him curiously, but he is given a fork. The American immediately begins stabbing himself furiously with the fork, repeatedly jabbing himself all over. At this point he’s bleeding from hundreds of wounds, but he’s not dying. Even the cannibals are horrified watching how he is mutilating himself: Finally, the cannibal chief stops him and says, wait, wait, wait - what are you doing? The American just sneers at him, “So much for your canoe!
