A Liverpool fan, an Arsenal fan and a Manchester United fan were all in
Arabia , sharing a smuggled crate of booze when, all of a sudden, Saudi
police rushed in and arrested 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 Liverpool fan 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 arsenal fan was next up. After
watching the Scouser 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 arsenal fan was soon led away whimpering
loudly (as they do).
The man u fan was the last one up, but before he could say anything,
the Sheikh turned to him and said: "You support one of the biggest club
in the world and your team is the finest in the world. For this, you
may have two wishes!" "Thank you, your Most Royal and Merciful
highness", he replied. "In recognition of your kindness, my first wish
is that you give me not 20 lashes but, 100 lashes." "Not only are you an
honourable, 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"?
"Tie the arsenal fan to my back."
