Ok, I first heard this joke when I was about 8 & it along with one other joke from around the same time are just about the only 2 jokes that I know.
Whenever I tell this joke it makes me laugh but for some reason other people don't seem to find it as funny & in certain circles there's a definite sense that they have a lower opinion of me at the end of it than they did before I started on it.
So here goes:
There were these 2 English explorers in deepest darkest Africa about 100 years ago, they were exploring areas that no white man had ever been, with the help of a native guide/interpreter.
Suddenly they were surrounded by some vicious looking natives who took them to a village, all the people of the village came out & a fierce looking chief, shouted something to the native guide.
The guide turned to the first Englishman & said 'The chief asks you do you want death or bunda?'
The explorer looks a bit confused & then says 'well I'll take bunda of course', at this point a bit of a cheer goes up from the villagers & 10 or so of the biggest young men of the village grab him , rip off all his clothes & take it in turn to have their way with him in a most brutal manner , at the end they give him his clothes & let him go, he looks a forlorn & broken figure as he staggers from the village.
The chief speaks to the guide again & the guide turns to the second explorer & says 'The chief he say what do you want, death or bunda?', the Englishman looks at his guide & says 'There's no way I can go through that, I choose death & I'll damn well die like an Englsihman'
The guide turns to the chief & relays the message & the chief replies by shouting something out triumphantly & the whole village start cheering & dancing.
'What did he say' asks the Englishman, his guide turns to face him with a look of terror on his face 'The chief he say............ DEATH BY BUNDA'
