RED SOX FAN
A Boston Red Sox fan, a Chicago Cubs fan, and New
York Yankees fan were all
in Saudi Arabia performing military duty for the
U.*. Army.
While off base, they were caught sharing a smuggled
case 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
punishable by death! With the
help of good lawyers, they were able to successfully
appeal their sentence
down to life imprisonment.
By a stroke of luck, a benevolent Sheik decided that
they could be released
after receiving just 20 lashes of the whip. As they
were preparing for their
punishment, the Sheik said, "It'* my wife'* birthday
today, and she has
asked me to allow each one 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 was carried away bleeding and crying.
The Yankees fan was up next (he had almost finished
an entire fifth of
alcohol by himself), and after watching the scene,
said "Okay, please affix
2 pillows to my back." But even 2 pillows could only
take 15 lashes before
the whip went through again, sending the Yankee fan
crying unbelievably.
The Red Sox fan was the last up (he had finished off
the crate), 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 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, powerful man, you
are also very brave," said
the Sheik. "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 Yankees fan to my back."

Yankees are going all the way this year! Like usual, Red Sox dont stand a chance, even if they make it to the world series, they wont win, not until they move that team to another city.
