HAHAHA, super nice joke! ^^
A Liverpool fan, an Arsenal fan and a Man United fan were all in a strange unnamed country, sharing a smuggled crate of booze. All of a sudden police rushed in and arrested them. The mere possession of alcohol was a severe offence, so for the terrible crime of actually being caught consuming the stuff, they were each 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 national holiday on the day that their trial finished, and the unusually benevolent ruler of this strange place decided they could be released after receiving just twenty lashes each.
As they were preparing for their punishment, the ruler declared:
“It’s my first wife’s birthday today, and she has asked me to allow each of you one wish before your whipping.”
The Arsenal fan was first in line, 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 ten lashes before the whip went through. The Arsenal fan had to be carried away bleeding and crying with pain.
The Man United fan was next up, and after watching the scene, said:
“Choice! Please fix two pillows on my back.”
But even two pillows could only take fifteen lashes before the whip went through again.
The Liverpool fan was the last one up, but before he could say anything, the ruler turned to him and said:
“You are from a most beautiful part of the world, your city has some of the best and most loyal football fans. For this, you may have two wishes!”
“Cheers mate, your most royal and merciful highness”, the Liverpool fan replied.
“In recognition of your kindness, my first wish is that you give me not twenty, but one hundred lashes.”
“Not only are you an honourable, handsome and powerful man, you are also very brave,” cooed the ruler, with an admiring look on his face.
“If one hundred lashes is what you desire, then so be it. And your second wish? What is it to be?”
“Please tie the Man United fan to my back.”
