From Gene Weingarten's chat:
Two missionaries gets captured by savages. The king offers them two choices: Sudden, instant and immediate death, or ru-ru. The first guy says, "ru-ru". Very well, the chief says. The guy is stripped, tied to a tree, and violated in an extremely bad way by six dozen tribesmen, in succession, for five hours, until he dies of what one would die of in a situation like that.
The second missionary has seen all this, and then is given the same choice. "Sudden, instant death!" He says.
"Very well," says the chief. "But first, a little ru-ru!"
