He says "i will be boiled in water"
This means he must must be boiled in water, but that would make the statement true, so they must fry him in oil, which would make it false...

Two missionaries were caught by the natives and they placed them in a huge cooking pot. All around, the natives were slicing carrots and putting peas in the pot with the missionaries. The younger of the two missionaries was distraught, but looked across at his partner, and saw that he was laughing.
"What are you laughing at. They are going to eat us!" he said, despairingly.
"Well," said the elder missionary, I just urinated into their soup."
