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!!!!
