A Raiders fan, a 49ers fan and a Bucs fan were all in Saudi Arabia, sharing
a smuggled case of beer. All of a sudden Saudi police rushed in and arrested
them. The mere possession of alcohol is a severe offense in Saudi Arabia, so
for the terrible crime of actually being caught consuming the beer, 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 Sheik decided they could be released
after receiving just 20 lashes each of the whip.
As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheik 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 49ers 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 49ers fan had to be carried away bleeding and crying with pain when the
punishment was done.
The Bucs fan was next up (he almost finished an entire six pack by himself),
and after watching the scene, said "All Right! Please fix two pillows on my
back." But even two pillows could only take 15 lashes before the whip went
through again, sending the Bucs fan out crying like a little girl.
The Raiders fan was the last one up (he had finished off the case), but
before he could say anything, the Sheik turned to him and said, "You support
the greatest team in the world, your supporters are some of the best and
most loyal football fans in the world. For this, you may have two wishes!"
"Thanks, your most Royal Highness," the Raiders fan 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 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 Sheik asks.
"Tie the Bucs fan to my back!"
