Pakistani and a Malaysian are celebrating by sharing a bottle of smuggled champagne in their hotel room.
All of a sudden, Saudi police enter the room and arrest them.
They are immediately sentenced to death.
They contest the sentence and are finally imprisoned for life.
But, as it was a New Year's eve, the Sheikh decided they should be released after receiving 20 lashes of the whip.
As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheikh suddenly says: "It's my eleventh wife's birthday today, and she asked me to allow each of you one wish before your whipping".
The Malaysian thinks for a while and says: "Please tie a pillow to my back."
This was done.
But the pillow only lasts 10 lashes and gets torn to shreds.
The whip goes through and thrashes his back until it starts bleeding.
The Pakistani, watching the scene, says: "Please fix two pillows to my back".
But even two pillows could only take 10 lashes before they are shred to rags.
The whip goes through and thrashes his back until it starts bleeding.
The Sheikh then turns to the Indian and says: "I had a part of my education in India.
Hence, I have a soft corner for Indians. You can have two wishes!".
"Thank you, your Royal and Merciful Highness" The Indian says, "As my first wish, I would like to have 40 lashes of the whip."
The Sheikh is puzzled, but says, "If you so desire. And what is your second wish?" "Tie the Pakistani to my back", says the Indian.
