[tscii:9e4145a2c0]A Sardar, a German and a Pakistani 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 German was first in line, he thought for a while and then said: "Please
tie a pillow to my back.EUR This was done, but the pillow only lasted 10
lashes before the whip went through. When the punishment was done the German
had to be carried away bleeding and crying with pain.
The Pakistani was next up. After watching the German 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 Pakistani was soon
led away whimpering loudly.
The Sardar 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," Sardar 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.
Sardar smiled and said, "Tie the Pakistani to my back" !!!
