A Leeds Fan, a Liverpool fan and a Man u fan were all in Saudi Arabia,
sharing a smuggled crate of booze. All of a sudden the Saudi police
rushed in and arrested 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 were sentenced to death!
However, after many months and with the help of very good lawyers, they
were able to successfully appeal their sentence 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 suddenly said:
"It's my first wife's birthday today, and she has asked me to allow each
of you one wish before your whipping."
The Leeds fan was first in line (he had drunk the least), so he thought
about this 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.
The Leeds fan had to be carried away bleeding and crying with pain when
the punishment was done. The scouser was next up and after watching the
scene, said:" Please fix two pillows on my back, under my dress" But
even two pillows & 1 dress could only take 15 lashes before the whip
went through again.
The Manc was the last one up (he had finished off the crate), but before
he could say anything, the Sheikh turned to him and said: "You are from
a most beautiful part of the world, your city has some of the best bars,
nightclubs and restaurants in Europe, your city and football team is
known throughout the world. For this, you may have two wishes!" "Cheers
mate, your Most Royal and Merciful Highness", The manc replies. "In
recognition of your kindness, my first wish is that you give me not 20,
but 100 lashes."
"Not only are you an honourable, handsome and powerful man, you are also
very brave." The Sheik says 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 asks.
"Please tie the Scouser to my back."
