A Londoner, a Parisian and a New Yorker get captured by cannibals…
The cannibals are pretty pissed off because these guys have just wandered into their territory without asking permission. So the cannibals tell them, "We're going to kill you, we're going to eat you, and we're going to make a canoe out of your skins. But just because we're in a good mood today will let you choose how you want to die."
The Londoner says, "Well I guess hanging is the easiest way to go." So the cannibals whip up a gallows, and stick his head in the noose. He calls out "God save the queen!", they pull the handle and he falls down through the trap door. Thunk! He's dead.
Next the Parisian says, "Guillotine for me, of course!" The cannibals get to work, assemble a crude but functional guillotine, stick his head in there, he calls out, "Vivre la France! " and chop! Off with his head.
They turn to the New Yorker and ask, "Well, what's it going to be?"
"Bring me a fork," he says.
So they bring him a fork. He takes it and starts stabbing himself all over with it. He's lying there on the ground with blood pouring out of him, and the cannibals say, "What the hell? What a horrible way to die! Are you crazy?"
With his last breath the New Yorker replies, "So much for your god damn canoe!"
