WVDXA OT: News from HZ land !

[Rick Robinson]

A Pitt fan, a Mountaineers fan and a Marshall 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 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 Pitt 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 Pitt fan had to be carried away bleeding

and crying like a sissy when the punishment was done.
 

The Marshall fan was next up (he almost finished a entire fifth by

himself),and after watching the scene, said: "All Right! Please

fix two pillows on my butt.Even two pillows could only take 15

lashes before the whip went through again, sending the Marshall fan

out crying like a little girl.
 

The Mountaineer 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 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 West Virginia 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 Marshall fan to my

back."
