Red Sox fans are so smart ...
Subject: Red Sox Baseball Fan
A Boston Red Sox fan, a Chicago Cubs fan and a NY Yankee fan were all in
Saudi Arabia performing military duty for the US Army. While off base,
they were caught sharing a smuggled crate of booze.
All of the 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 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 Cubs 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 Cubs fan had to be carried away bleeding and crying with
pain when the punishment was done.
The Yankee 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 again, sending the Yankee fan out crying like a little baby.
The Red Sox fan was the last one up (he had finished off the crate-given
his allegiance, who could of course blame him), but before he could say
anything, the Sheik turned to him and said, "You support the greatest
baseball team in the world, your supporters are the best and most loyal
baseball fans in all the world. For this, you may have two wishes!"
"Thanks, your most Royal Highness," the Red Sox 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 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 that Yankee fan to my back!!"
