Recreation A Dutchman, a Frenchman, and an American...

A Dutchman, a Frenchman, and an American are in Saudi Arabia, sharing a
smuggled crate of booze when Saudi police rush in and arrest 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 are
all sentenced to death!

However, after many months and with the help of very good lawyers, they are
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 Dutchman 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 he had
to be carried away bleeding and crying with pain.

The Frenchman was next up. After watching the Dutchman 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 (as they do).

The American 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 American 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 Sheikh asked.

The American replied: "Tie the Frenchman to my back."

sheesh. thats americans for you...haha.
..although i am american..but thats besides the point...

 

That is awsome... and yes. that is an american for you... LOL freakin french

I love this joke...!!!

 

wow... u all are really dense

 

I heard the exact same joke about a month ago.
Except it was a scotsman, an english man and an irish man.

Needless to say the english man was strapped to the irish mans back.

The english man could also have been tied to the scotsmans back if it was told in scotland.

There could have been a welsh dude there too. But what ever way, you know the english guy's get it again.

 

The French deserve it more than the English, though

hmm i just thought i'd add one that i just heard...
deep in Iraq, after the americans and allied forces had just bombed the presidential palace, All Sadam's 'doubles' were gathered for a briefing on events. The general in charge entred the room and announced:
"I have some good news and some bad news"
"The good news is that Sadam is still alive.
The bad news is that he is now missing an arm...."

 

Lol, I love these two. Its almost too true! Excuse me, I have to go finish laughing right now.

 

HAR HAR HAR, As though is supposedly go to hating the french it is still kinda mean..but...Oh, well

 

ROTFLMAOPMP.... HAHAHAHAHAHA.. ok heres one. A priest, a squirrel, and a chinese guy that works in a grocery store walk into a bar. The chinese guy says to the squirrel, "Pung Chow Do Dow Meow!" HAHAHAHAHAHA

 

Very nice Ark.

Got a good roar out of that one.

USA!

 

dont get that one. i dont think we should criticize thefrench. i dont like americans.

 

That's ok, I'm fairly sure the Americans don't like you either...

- Ark

 

Personally, aside from the little "(as they do)" remark about them there French types this hardly seems a critisim of them, so I dont see your point. Its just a lill jab in good fun.

Um, you dont like Americans? Woah, thats harsh.

The populatin of the United States is 290,816,146.

How many have you met?

 

Its probably our International Policy that you hate right CB? Not all americans agree with it, so it would sound more prudent to say that you hate the Government of the United States, as well as the citizens who support its views. If you want, you can hate me *shrugs*. I support our government's objectives and agressive policy. I have looked at both sides of the issue, so I just am not being blindly led around by the nose by the corrupt media. But I do try and avoid starting anything that could turn into the exhausting thread that the Protest against the war in Iraq one was. It was partly my fault too, but it just turned into a form of political and social mudslinging (if I angered anyone in there, you have my apologies).

Hey Alakai, please explain that joke of yours. I didn't get it either.....
