An Englishman, a Frenchman and a New Yorker are walking through the Amazon.

An Englishman, a Frenchman and a New Yorker are walking through the Amazon, when suddenly they are surrounded by bloodthirsty cannibals.

The tribe leader approaches them and says, "Gentlemen, I have good news and I have bad news. The bad news is we're going to kill you, gut you, and turn your hides into canoes. The good news is you can choose whichever way you wish to die."

The Englishman thinks for a moment then says, "Give me a pistol."

The cannibals return with the pistol. The Englishman takes it, says "God save the Queen," and shoots himself in the head.

The Frenchman thinks for a second before saying, "Give me a sword."

The cannibals return with the sword. The Frenchman takes the sword says "Vive le France," and runs himself through.

The New Yorker thinks for just a second before saying, "Give me a fork."

The tribe leader doesn't know what to think so he sends a cannibal to fetch a fork.

The cannibal returns and the New Yorker grabs the fork and starts stabbing himself all over his body. Blood and gore are everywhere and the cannibals are standing there, horrified.

Eventually the leader manages to shout, "What the hell are you doing?"

The New Yorker turns and shouts, "There goes your goddamn canoe!"
