A Boston Red Sox fan, a Chicago Cubs fan and a NY Yankee fan were all
in Saudi Arabia, sharing a smuggled crate of booze. All of the 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 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 Sheikh decided they could
be released after receiving just 20 lashes each of the whip.
As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheikh 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 Cubs 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 Cubs fan had to be carried away bleeding and crying with
pain when the punishment was done.
The Yankee fan was next up (he almost finished an entire fifth 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 Yankee fan out crying like a little girl.
The Red Sox fan was the last one up (he had finished off the
crate), but before he could say anything, the Sheikh turned to him and said,
"You support the greatest baseball team in the world, your supporters are
the best and most loyal baseball fans in all the world. For this, you may
have two wishes!"
"Thanks, your most Royal Highness," the Red Sox fan replies. "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 Yankee fan to my back."
