An Englishman, a German and a Frenchman are all in Saudi Arabia, sharing a smuggled crate of booze when, all of a sudden, Saudi police rush in and arrest them. The mere possession of alcohol is a severe offence in Saudi Arabia, so for the terrible crime of actually being caught consuming the booze, they are all sentenced to death!
However, after many months and with the help of very good lawyers, they were able to successfully appeal their sentences 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 announced: "It's my first wife's birthday today, and she has asked me to allow each of you one wish before your whipping."
The German was first in line, he thought 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. When the punishment was done the German had to be carried away bleeding and crying with pain.
The Frenchman was next up. After watching the German in horror he said smugly: "Please fix two pillows to my back."
But even two pillows could only take 15 lashes before the whip went through again and the Frenchman was soon led away whimpering loudly.
The Englishman was the last one up, but before he could say anything, the Sheikh turned to him and said: "You are from a most beautiful part of the world and your culture is one of the finest in the world. For this, you may have two wishes!"
"Thank you, your Most Royal and Merciful highness," the Englishman replied. "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 Sheikh 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 Englishman smiled and said, "Tie the Frenchman to my back."

Taking of alcoholic drinks is precisely prohibited in Islam and the finished Saudi Arabia. in spite of the actual incontrovertible truth that it is illegitimate, in accordance with my 13 years of residency in the dominion, i visit claim that: a million. There are lot of foreigners who do home made wines for extraordinarily own or commercial intake (in basic terms be careful you're literally not stuck because if you're, you'd be jailed, punished and deported). 2. Western voters (American, French, British, and so on.) are dealt one after the other, they convey about their personal wine (esp. the military experts who're exempted from a lot searches) and drink of their inner most villas. even at the same time as stuck, they are judged gently or deported without a lot police detention. 3. Even some Saudi voters also drink wine yet truly privately. So in case you are able to't avoid it and opt to drink wine in Saudi Arabia, be careful you do it on your inner most lodging and not in any respect in public places that you would possibly want to do a touch scandalous acts or injuries.
