Stupid but I got a laugh out of it at least.....
A Kiwi was sitting with an Australian and a Indian in Saudi Arabia,
sharing a smuggled barrel of beer, when all of a sudden, Saudi police
entered and arrested them. They were initially sentenced to death but
they contested this and were finally imprisoned for life. But, as it was
a national holiday, the Sheikh decided they should be released after
receiving 20 lashes of the whip. As they were preparing for their
punishment, the Sheikh suddenly said:
"It's my first wife's birthday today, and she asked me to allow each of you
one wish before your
whipping".
So the Indian guy thought for a while and then said:"
"Please be tieing a pillow to my back."
This was done but the pillow only lasted 10 lashes before the whip went
through.
The Australian, watching the scene, said:
"Please fix two pillows on my back".
But even two pillows could only take 10 lashes before the whip went through
again.
Before The Kiwi could say something, the Sheikh turned to him and said:
"As you are from a popular country, and your rugby team are terrific, and
your
women beautiful you can have two wishes!".
"Thank you, Most Royal and Merciful Highness",
The Kiwi replies.
"My first wish is: " I would like to have 40 lashes."
"If you so desire", the Sheik replies with a questioning look on his face,
"and your second wish?"
"Tie the Aussie to my back".
