A Dutchman, a Frenchman, and an American are in
Saudi Arabia, sharing a
smuggled crate of booze when Saudi police rush in
and arrest them.
The mere possession of alcohol is a severe offense
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 Sheikh
decided they could be
released
after receiving just 20 lashes each of the whip.
As they were preparing for their punishment, the
Sheikh 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.
The American was the last one up, but before he
could say anything, the
Sheikh 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 American 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.
The American replied: "Tie the Frenchman to my
back."
