A Nebraska

Fan, A Colorado Fan, and a Florida

Fan...in Saudi Arabia?







A Colorado fan, a Florida fan and a Nebraska 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 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 Sheikh decided they could be released after

receiving just 20 lashes each of the whip.


As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheikh 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 Florida 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 Florida fan had to be

carried away bleeding and crying with pain when the punishment was done.


The Colorado 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 , sending the Colorado

fan out crying like a little girl.


The Nebraska fan was the last one up (he had finished off the crate), but

before he could say anything, the Sheikh turned to him and said, "You

support the greatest team in the world, your alumni 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 Husker 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 Colorado fan to my back."
