Four-Star Recruit
Frank Solich, Steve Pederson and Bo Pelini were all in Saudi Arabia,
sharing a smuggled crate of booze. All of a sudden Saudi police rushed in and
arrested them. The mere possession of alcohol is a severe offense in Saudi
Arabia, so for the terrible crime of actually being caught consuming the
booze, 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."
Solich 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. Solich
had to be carried away bleeding and crying with pain when the punishment
was done.
Steve Pederson 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, sending Pederson out crying like a little girl.
Pelini 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 alumni has some of the best and most loyal
football fans in the world. For this, you may have two wishes!" "Thanks,
your most Royal highness," Pelini 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 Steve Pederson to my back."
