Mugabe was sitting with Tsvangirayi and Mutambara in Saudi Arabia , sharing a smuggled barrel of beer, when all of a sudden the police entered and arrested them.
They were initially given a death sentence but, as it was a national holiday, the sheikh decided they shouldbe released after each receiving 20 lashes of the whip.
As they were preparing for their punishment, the sheikh said, "It's my first wife's birthday today and she asked me to allow each of you one wish before your whipping, but you cannot wish not to be whipped!"
Mutambara thought for a second then said: "Please tie a pillow to my back before whipping." This was done but the pillow lasted 10 lashes.
Mugabe saw this and said: "Please tie two pillows to my back before whipping." This was done and lasted for the whole 20 lashes.
Tsvangirayi saw this, but before he could make his wish, the sheikh said: "As you are from the most popular party of Zimbabwe with all the wealth and you share the same ethnicity with Barack Obama, you are permitted to have two wishes!"
Tsvangirayi thought for a second, then said:"Thank you, most royal and merciful highness. My first wish is to receive 100 lashes with the strongest, toughest whip available."
"If you so desire," the sheikh replied with a questioning look on his face, "and your second wish?"
Tsvangirayi replied
"Tie Mugabe to my back."
