Saudi Lashes

Irishman, Englishman and a German are caught in Saudi Arabia drinking.

- Under Saudi law you are sentenced to 30 lashes then deported. Before you begin you are entitled to something on you back, what would you like? - said the prison guard to the Englishman just before lashing him.

The English man, being a bit of a cricket fan, asked for linseed oil. When they lashed him on a post and let him go to catch his flight back to London he groaned and crawled to the airport.

Next came the German.

- Under Saudi law you are sentenced to 30 lashes then deported. Before you begin you are entitled to something on you back, what would you like? - said the prison guard.

- Nothing - said the German and, after receiving his lashes spat on the ground, called the prison guards Schisers and started off towards the airport.

The guards then came to the Irishman.

- Under Saudi law you are sentenced to 30 lashes then deported. Before you begin you are entitled to something on you back, what would you like?

- Oh - replied the Irishman, - I'll take the German.
