Old school joke

An Englishman, Scotsman and Irishman are exploring the deepest part of the Amazon jungle. One day a savage tribe of cannibals captures the trio and they're brought before the chieftain.
"Trespassing is punishable by death for white devils" the chieftain says in passable English. "But your skin will make some fine canoes for us, however you can all have one request fulfilled to the best of our ability to do so!"
The Englishman nods accepting his fate "I don't suppose you have a telephone out here so I can call home?"
"Yes, we have taken many of these things from interlopers" says the chieftain.
Surprised he dials his wife. "hello my dear, I'm afraid I won't be coming home, terribly sorry, my love to the kids"
He closes his eyes, is killed and they begin taking his skin and taking the meat off him for meals.
Scotsman gulps "I really could do with a drink, whiskey if you have any so I won't feel it"
Chieftain snaps his fingers and a tribesman brings out a crate of whiskey, the Scotsman immediately begins getting drunk downing bottle after bottle until he falls asleep and he too is killed and they make preparations to turn him into meals and a canoe with his skin.
Irishman says "umm do you have a fork?"
Puzzled, the chief commands he's given a fork by a tribesman and before anybody could react the Irishman begins stabbing himself all over his body "you're not turning me into a bloody canoe ye bastards!"

I haven't heard that one in over 30 years, sincere thanks for the nostalgia

The Irishmans canoe would, in fact, be bloody. And I think he would say "fecking" canoe

This was my mom's favorite joke, but she could never tell it - she would always start laughing before she got to the punchline.

I was not expecting that ending. I like it!

We were howling at this when I was in junior school, and I am retired now, still makes me chuckle

Yes but you had to make the stabby gesture when you got to the punchline.
