Encounter with cannibal

A group of adventurers went on an African Safari. The group consisted of a British man, a Frenchman, and a Bangladeshi man.

On their way, deep into the jungle, they stumbled across an African tribe. Upon seeing the three men, the tribal people hurried to capture them. The action and gesture of the tribal people were hostile, and the adventurers soon realised that they were being captured by cannibals.

The cannibals kept them captive for three days. They fed the three men pure fruit and raw vegetables 7 times a day.  The adventurers soon realised that the cannibals were fattening them up in anticipation of a feast.

On the feast day, the cannibal leader addressed them, "I'm sorry gentlemen, but I must follow our traditions."

The British replied, "What does that mean?"

With a smile in the face, the cannibal leader replied, "We will kill you, eat you, cook you, and make canoes from your skin. But we're not all bad, we'll let you choose your death."

The Brit stepped up first and said, "Give me a pistol." He closed his eyes, put the pistol to his head and killed himself yelling, "God save the Queen!"

Next, the Frenchman asked, "Can I have a sword?" As he ran into the sword he yelled, "Viva la France!"

Finally, the Bangladeshi man asked for a fork. It was a very unusual demand for the cannibals, but anyway they give it to them. It was his last wish after all! The Bangladeshi man began to stab himself repeatedly everywhere. The cannibal leader yelled at him, "What in the world are you doing?!"

The Bangladeshi yelled, "Good luck with my canoe!"
