An Indiana Hoosiers fan, a Duke Blue Devils fan and a
Kentucky Wildcats fan were all in Saudi Arabia,
sharing a smuggled bottle of Maker's Mark. 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
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 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 Hoosier fan was first in line, 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 Hoosier fan had to be carried away bleeding and
crying with pain when the punishment was done.
The Blue Devils fan was next up, 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 Duke fan out crying like a little girl.
The Wildcat fan was the last one up, but before he
could say anything, the Sheik turned to him and said,
"You support the greatest team in the world, your
alumni are some of the best and most loyal
basketball fans in the world. For this, you may have
two wishes!"
"Thanks, your most Royal highness", the Wildcat 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 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.
"Tie the Duke fan to my back."
Go Big Blue!!!!
