I got that the very second I read the last sentence.
I got the joke but here's something I don't get.These tribals are giving them weapons, if you give a man a weapon who is about to die anyways wouldn't he try using it on the tribals to escape?
wouldn't he be severely outnumbered?
you can assume that, but we dont know the health of any of the men. the three men could have all requested a fight to the death with swords or something and when they all got their weapons fight their way out, but the point is the "joke" not what one would actually do if they were there.
