Manchester City, Liverpool & Manchester United

[Wish1719]

A Man City fan, a Man U fan, and an Liverpool fan

were all in Saudi Arabia, sharing a smuggled crate of booze.

 

All of a sudden Saudi police rushed in and arrested them. The mere

possesion of alcohol is a severe offence 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 Man City fan 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 Man City fan had to be carried away bleeding and

crying with pain when the punishment was done.

 

The Liverpool fan was next up (he almost finished a half-can), 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 Liverpool fan sobbing and crying like a baby!

 

The Man U 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 city has some of

best and most loyal soccer fans in the world. For this, you may have two

wishes!"

"Thank you, your most Royal highness," the grateful United 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 honourable, 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 that Liverpool fan to my back."
