As they were <br />preparing for the whipping, the Sheikh announced "It is my first wife's <br />birthday today, and she has asked me to allow you one wish before your <br />whipping."<br /> <br />The Frenchman was first in line, he thought for a while and then <br />said, "Please tie a pillow to my back". This was done, but the pillow only <br />lasted 10 lashes before the whip went through. When the punishment was <br />done, he had to be carried away bleeding and crying in pain.<br /> <br />The German was next up. After watching the Frenchman's pain in <br />horror, he said smugly "Please fix two pillows to my back". But even two <br />pillows could only take 15 lashes before the whip went through and again <br />the German was led away whimpering loudly (as they do)<br /> <br />The Englishman was the last one up, but before he could say anything <br />the Sheikh turned to him and said. " You are from a most beautiful part <br />of the world and your culture is one of the finest in the world. For <br />this you may have two wishes". "Thank you, your Most Royal and Merciful <br />Highness" The Englishman replied. "My first wish is that you give me not <br />20 lashes, but 100 lashes". "Not only are you an honourable person, <br />you are also very brave" said the Sheikh with an admiring look on his <br />face. If a 100 lashes is what you desire, then so be it. And your second <br />wish?.<br /><br />"Tie the Frenchman to my back".
