In these times of sports rivalry, I just couldn't resist posting this. Hope the Aussies read it in a good spirit of humorous rivalry.
A South African was sitting with an Aussie and a Kiwi in Saudi Arabia , sharing a smuggled barrel of beer, when all of a sudden the Police entered and arrested them.
They were initially given the death sentence but contested this and were finally imprisoned for life. But as it was a national holiday, the Sheikh decided they should be released after each receiving 20 lashes of the whip.
As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheikh suddenly said:
"It's my first wife's birthday today and she asked me to allow each of you one wish before your whipping, but you can not wish to not be whipped!"
The Kiwi thought for a second then said: "Please tie a pillow to my back before whipping." This was done but the pillow only lasted 10 lashes before the whip went through. The Kiwi cried in pain.
The Aussie saw this and said: "Please tie 2 pillows to my back before whipping." This was done and lasted for the whole 20 lashes. The Aussie stood up smiling.
The South African saw this but before he could make his wish, the Sheikh said: "As you are from South Africa with all that crime, a cricket team who is always losing in a final and a rugby team who can't win anything, you are permitted to have two wishes!"
The South African thought for a second, then said: "Thank you most Royal and Merciful Highness. My first wish is to receive a hundred lashes with the strongest, toughest whip available."
"If you so desire," the Sheikh replies with a questioning look on his face, "and your second wish?"
"Tie the Aussie to my back"

Ha ha that was a good one.
That was like a gut of fresh air.
Its nice to know that someone in the SA section still has their sense of humor, things are always so serous here.
Thanks a lot man.

Fun - I bet the cricket team wish they could organize such a deterrent for the game tomorrow.
