A Steelers fan, a Browns fan and a Bengal fan were all
in Saudi Arabia ,

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, 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 Bengal fan was f irst in line (he had drunk the
least), so h e 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 Bengal fan had to be carried away
bleeding and crying with pain

when the punishment was done.



The Browns fan 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 Browns fan out crying like
a little girl.



The Steelers fan 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 team in the world, your team has some
of the best and most loyal

football fans in the world. For this, you may have two
wishes !"



"Thanks, your most Royal highness," the Steelers fan
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 Browns fan to my back."
