An American, 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 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."
