------- Forwarded foolishness follows -------
Mueller is traveling with his wife and mother-in-law in a far eastern
country.
At a place of honour, his mother-in-law makes a careless remark, which
the native people take as an insult to the royal family.
Mueller is dragged off to court with his wife and mother-in-law and are
sentenced to corporal punishment. Each of them is to recieve 50 lashes
on the rear end with a cane.
But because the royal family doesn't want to appear hostile to
foreigners, they grant the guests in their country a wish beforehand, as
long as it is able to be fulfilled.
Mrs. Mueller is first.
"What do you wish for yourself?"
"I would like a pillow bound on my rear end before the lashings."
"Okay, that shall be granted to you."
Mrs. Mueller has the pillow bound to her rear end and receives her
punishment.
But because the pillow is too small and the executioner also hits her
back a couple of times, she receives a few blows.
Next it is Mueller's mother-in-law's turn.
"What do you wish for yourself?"
"I would like a pillow bound on my rear end and a pillow bound on my
back before the lashings."
"Okay, that shall be granted to you."
The mother-in-law receives her fifty lashes, but hardly feels the pain
through the pillows.
Then comes Mueller himself.
"What do you wish for yourself?"
"I have two wishes. Do you want to fulfill them for me?"
"Because you are a guest in our country, we want to fulfill your wishes
for you, as long as they are reasonable."
"I would like 100 lashes instead of 50."
The executioner is surprised, but recovers again right away and replies,
"Yes, that is a pious wish, it shall be granted to you. And what is
your second wish?"
"I would like to have my mother-in-law bound to my back."
