Akpos and Musa decide punishment

Akpos and Musa were caught in
a Northern african country,
sharing a smuggled barrel of
beer. They were arrested and
taken to the Sheik's palace for
questioning and judgment.
Akpos lied that Musa smuggled
and forced him to drink the beer!
Both were initially given a death
sentence but, as it was a national
holiday, the Sheik decided they
should be released after some
lashes of the whip.
As they were preparing for their
punishment, the Sheik said, "It's
my first wife's birthday today and
she asked me to allow each of
you 2 wishes before your
whipping, but you cannot wish
not to be whipped!"
Akpos thought for a second then
said: "Please tie two pillows to
my back before whipping." And
my second wish is that you flog
me only 20 strokes of the whip.
He was whipped, and luckily for
him, the pillows helped to make
the pain of the whip lesser.
Musa saw this; thought for a
second, then said: "Thank you,
most royal and merciful highness
for the wishes. My first wish is to
receive 100 lashes with the
strongest, toughest whip
available.", Akpos laughed and
thought Musa was a fool…
The Sheik replied with a puzzled
look on his face," and your
second wish?"
Musa replied "Tie Akpors to my
back!"
