Captured By Cannibals! What Would You Do?

A Frenchman, an Englishman, and an American are captured by
cannibals. When they meet the chief of the tribe, he tells them
"Look, you're going to die anyway. But you have a choice. You can die
with honor if you wish. But if you do not die an honorable death, we'll
turn your hides into canoes."

So the Frenchman steps up and yells, "Hand me a sword!". He takes
the sword into his hand, raises it into the air, shouts out "Vive Le
France!", and plunges the sword through his gut. The chief nods as he
sees this as very honorable.

The Englishman steps up next and yells, "Hand me a pistol!". He takes
the pistol into his hand, raises it to his head, and shouts out, "God
save the Queen!", and pulls the trigger. Another honorable death, nods
the chief.

So the American steps up and yells, "Hand me a fork!". The cannibals
look confused, but they get him a fork. The American holds the fork up,
and starts stabbing wildly at his body, yelling "Screw your canoe!"
