    no but it reminded me of this one...

    Paddy Englishman, Paddy Scotsman and Paddy Irishman are working in Saudi Arabia and they have smuggled in a case of whiskey.

    One day after work the Saudi police rush in and arrest them and they are each sentenced to 20 lashes 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 Scott 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 the Scott had to be carried away bleeding and crying with pain.

    The Englishman was next up. After watching the Scott 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 Englishman was soon led away whimpering loudly.

    Paddy 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. For this, you may have two wishes!" "Thank you, your most royal and merciful highness," Paddy 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. Paddy smiled and said, "Tie the Englishman to my back."
