I am really raping this other board of its humour now :D
An Englishman, a Dutchman and a Frenchman are all
in Saudi Arabia, sharing a smuggled crate of booze
when, all of a sudden, Saudi police rush in and
arrest them. The mere possession of alcohol is a
severe offence in Saudi Arabia, so for the terrible
crime of actually being caught consuming the booze,
they are all sentenced to death!
However, after many months and with the help of
very good lawyers, they are able to successfully
appeal their sentences down to life imprisonment. By
a stroke of luck, it was a Saudi national holiday
the day their trial finished, and the extremely
benevolent Sheik decided they could be released
after receiving just 20 lashes each of the whip.
As they were preparing for their punishment, the
Sheik announced: "It's my first wife's birthday
today, and she has asked me to allow each of you one
wish before your whipping."
The Dutchman was first in line, he thought for a
while and then said: "Please tie a pillow to my
back.
This was done, but the pillow only lasted 10
lashes before the whip went through. When the
punishment was done he had to be carried away
bleeding and crying with pain.
The Frenchman was next up. After watching the
Dutchman in horror he
Said smugly: "Please fix two pillows to my back."
But even two pillows Could only take 15 lashes
before the whip went through again and the Frenchman
was soon led away whimpering loudly (as they do).
The Englishman was the last one up, but before he
could say anything, the Sheik turned to him and
said: "You are from a most beautiful part of the
world and your culture is one of the finest in the
world. For this, you may have two wishes!"
"Thank you, your Most Royal and Merciful
highness", The Englishman replied. "In recognition
of your kindness, my first wish is that you give me,
not 20, but 100 lashes."
"Not only are you an honorable, handsome and
powerful man, you are also very brave" the Sheikh
said with an admiring look on his face. "If 100
lashes is what you desire, then so be it. And your
second wish, what is it to be?" the Sheikh asked.
"Tie the Frenchman to my back."
