Three men are traveling in the Amazon: a Canadian, an American,
and a Mexican. They get captured by a fierce tribe of
Amazons.
The tribe leader tells them they will be whipped for entering their
territory. The Chief says to the Canadian, "What do you want on
your back for your whipping?"
The Canadian responds, "I will take oil!"
So they put oil on his back, and a large Amazon whips him 10 times.
When he is finished the Canadian has these huge welts on his back,
and he can hardly move.
The Amazons haul the Canadian away, and say to the Mexican, "What
do you want on your back?"
"I will take nothing!, I will take my punishment like a real man!"
says the Mexican, and he boldly stands there and takes his 10
lashings without a single flinch.
Finally, it's the Yankee's turn and the Chief asks, "What will you
take on your back?"
And he responds - " I'll take the Mexican!"
