The Two Cannibals

Two cannibals, a father and son, were elected by the tribe to go out and get something to eat They walked deep into the jungle and waited by a path

Before long, along came a little old man. The son said, ``Oh dad, there's one'' ``No,'' said the father. '`There's not enough meat on that one to even feed the dogs We'll just wait.''

Well, a little while later, along came a really fat man. The son said, ``Hey dad, he's plenty big enough''

``No,'' the father said. '`We'd all die of a heart attack from the fat in that one We'll just wait.''

About an hour later, there came this absolutely gorgeous woman. The son said, ``Now there's nothing wrong with that one dad Let's eat her.'' '`No,'' said the father ``We'll not eat her either.'' '`Why not?'' asked the son. ``Because, we're going to take her back alive, and eat your mother''
