The Paki Wish

An Indian was sitting with a Pakistani and a Malaysian in Saudi Arabia, sharing a smuggled barrel of beer, when all of a sudden; Saudi police entered and
arrested them. They were initially sentenced to death but they contested this and were finally imprisoned for life.
But, as it was a national holiday, the Sheikh decided they should be released
after receiving 20 lashes of the whip.
As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheikh suddenly said:
“It’s my first wife’s birthday today, and she asked me to allow each of you one wish
before your whipping.”
So the Malaysian guy 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.
The Indian guy, watching the scene, said: “Please fix two pillows on my back”.
But even two pillows could only take 10 lashes before the whip went through again.
Before the Pakistani fellow could say something, the Sheikh turned to
him and said: “As you are from a poor small country, and your football team and your
golfers and cricketers are terrible, you can have two wishes!”.
“Thank you, Most Royal and Merciful highness”, the Pakistani replied
“My first wish is: " I would like to have 40 lashes.”
“If you so desire”, the Sheikh agrees with a questioning look on his face,
“and your second wish?”…
“Tie that Indian to my back”, the Pakistani
answered.
