However, after many months and with

> As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheik

The Cleveland fan was first in line (he had

> away bleeding and crying with pain when the punishment
> was done.
The Cincinnati fan was next up (he almost
> finished an entire fifth by himself), 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 Bengal
> fan out crying like a little girl.
The Steeler fan was
> the last one up (he had finished off the crate), but
> before he could say anything, the Sheik turned to him and
> said, "You support the greatest team in the world, your
> supporters are some of the best and most loyal football
> fans in the world. For this, you may have two wishes!"
> "Thanks, your most Royal Highness," the Steeler fan
> replies. "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 Sheik 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
> Sheik asks. "Tie the Cleveland fan to my back."
