Apologies if I've asked this before, I don't think I have...
Has anyone heard the explorer story where the intrepid missionary encounters a tribe that has never met an outsider before, so because they are armed, he smiles broadly to indicate he means them no harm. Unfortunately, showing your teeth to this tribe is seen as an act of aggression, and they kill him with their spears.
Did this ever happen? Or something like it?
