The Wish

Recommended Posts

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

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 Tie 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 American 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 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 Sheik 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 Sheik asked.

The American replied: "Tie the Frenchman to my back."

That's funny...kind of like the old "death by booga booga" joke.
