The postcolonial bashing goes on.

Helen sent me this gem:

There once was a aussie, pommy and yank.

And they all were having a hoilday in Saudi Arabia. and they were all drinking smuggled beer. Soon the secert police burst in and arrested them for drinking smuggled beer. They all were sentenced to death. With some help of very good lawyers they were sentenced to life imprisonment. But the case ended on a national hoilday so the judge let them off with 20 lashes of the whip.

As the aussie, pommy and yank. stept into the toture chamber the torturer said "due to being my 1st wife's b'day you each have 1 wish."

The yank said "I would like a pillow tied on my back". But only 10 lashes lasted before the pillow ripped.

The pommy saw this and said "I would like 2 pillows on my back," but only 15 lashes of the whip lasted before the pillow ripped.

As the aussie steped up the toturer said "you are from a very good country your women are good and your cricket team is great. I'll give you 2 wishes". The aussie said "Thanks mate,I would like 100 lashes of the whip". The toture said "you are really brave what is your 2nd wish ?"

"Tie the pommy on my back."
