A castaway was washed ashore after many days on the open sea. The island on which he landed was populated by savage cannibals who tied him, dazed and exhausted, to a thick stake. They then proceeded to cut his arms with their spears and drink his blood.

This continued for several days until the castaway could stand no more. He yelled for the cannibal king and declared, "You can kill me if you want to, but this torture with the spears has got to stop. Dammit, I'm tired of being stuck for the drinks."
