An Englishman, a Irishman and a Scotsman 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 offence 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 Irishman 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 Englishman was next up. After watching the Irishman 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 Englishman was

soon led away whimpering loudly (as they do).

The Scotsman 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 Scotsman 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. "Tie the Englishman to my back."
