An Idaho, a Texas and a Montana hunter were all in Saudi Arabia hunting rams, and
sharing a smuggled crate of booze. All of a sudden the 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 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 Idaho hunter 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 Idaho hunter had to be carried away bleeding and
crying with pain when the punishment was done.
The Montana hunter 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 Montana hunter out crying like a little girl.
The Texas hunter was the last one up (he had finished off the crate), but
before he could say anything, the Sheik turned to him and said, "You support
the greatest hunting in the world, your state has some of the best and most
animals in the world. For this, you may have two wishes!"
Thanks, your most Royal highness," the Texas hunter 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 lousy I-143 supporter to my back."
