A Kiwi was sitting with an Australian and an Indian
A Kiwi was sitting with an Australian and an Indian in Saudi Arabia,
sharing a smuggled barrel of beer, when all of a sudden, Saudi police
entered and arrested them. They were initially sentenced to death but they
contested this and were finally imprisoned for life.

But, as it was a national holiday, the Sheikh decided they should be
released after receiving 20 lashes of the whip. As they were preparing for
their punishment, the Sheikh suddenly said: "It's my first wife's birthday
today, and she asked me to allow each of you one wish before your
whipping."

So the Indian guy thought for a while and then said:" Please be tieing a
pillow to my back." This was done but the pillow only lasted10 lashes
before the whip went through.

The Australian, watching the scene, said: "Please fix two pillows on my
back". But even two
pillows could only take 10 lashes before the whip went through again.

Before the Kiwi could say something, the Sheikh turned to him and said:
"As you are from a popular country, and your rugby team are terrific, and
your women beautiful you can have two wishes!".

"Thank you, Most Royal and Merciful Highness", The Kiwi replies. "My first
wish is: I would like to have 40 lashes."

"If you so desire", the Sheik replies with a questioning look on his face,
"and your second wish?"
