A Priest, a Rabbi and a Buddhist Monk are stranded on a hostile island They are quickly caught by the vicious tribe that inhabits the island. The chief of the tribe gives the 3 men 2 choices: Death or what he calls ""the Barbarians"" The Rabbi is the first to choose, he doesn't want to die so he chooses the latter. All of a sudden he is grabbed by the throat and dragged into a tent where he is then beaten and tortured until he is at the brink of death at which point he is thrown out of the tent, bloody and barely breathing, but still alive. The Priest is the next to choose. He says ""well, I have sinned much in this life and I am not yet ready to die, so i too, will choose 'the Barbarians'"" He is also grabbed by the throat and dragged into the tent where he too is beaten without mercy and then tossed aside, bloody and broken, but still just barely alive. The Chief then turns to the Buddhist Monk and asks what fate he will choose. The Buddhist Monk says ""Well, I believe there is another life waiting for me, so i will choose death"" The Chief then says ""death it shall be..."" ""...but first"" he says with a twinkle in his eye ""... 'the Barbarians!!'""
