Hockey

OK, this one's just for dr…

In light of the gold-medal games, it was only a matter of time till these stories started circulating:

A Canadian hockey fan, an American fan and a Swedish fan were all in Saudi Arabia, sharing a smuggled crate of alcohol. All of a sudden Saudi police rushed in and arrested them. The mere possession of alcohol is a severe offence in Saudi Arabia, so for the terrible crime of actually being caught consuming the alcohol, 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 Sheikh decided they could be released after receiving just 20 lashes each of the whip. As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheikh 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 Swede 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 Swede fan had to be carried away bleeding and crying with pain when the punishment was done.

The American fan was next up (he almost finished a half-can), 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 American fan crying.

The Canadian fan was the last one up (he had finished off the crate), but before he could say anything, the Sheikh turned to him and said: "You support the greatest team in the world, your country has the best and most loyal hockey fans in the world. For this, you may have two wishes!"

"Thanks, your most Royal highness", the Canadian replies. "In recognition of your kindness, my first wish is that you give me not 20, but 100 lashes."

"Not only are you an honourable, handsome and powerful man, you are also very brave," the Sheikh 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 Sheikh asks.

"Tie the American fan to my back so he can get his ass whooped again."

Yee-Haaa!

HAHAHAHAHA LOL…. Thats pretty funny. Havn't heard a joke of that calibre in a while.

Pooga's middle name is"calibre".
I'm a psychiatrist, Ican tell.

I hate to burst your bubble on that joke, but I first read it a few months ago. And DR might be able to back me up on this one too.
The joke was in th February 2002 Superbike Magazine, Superbike Magazine is the number 1 selling sportbike magazine in Europe, It also happens to be my favorite magazine.
The joke is a little different, but still much the same.
And it was funny then, and funny now.

Wierd. I just got it about 2 weeks ago. It was about hockey, but didn't flow too well, so I 'edited' it.

I heard that joke a few months before. It was a differnet version, but had to do with hockey. The different guys were on hockey teams and the American was the Toronto Maple Leaves and the Canadian was the Vancouver Canucks. Don't remember who the Swede was, though.
