Actually that was one of the 1,001 tales.

The fellow wished for all the women he could possibly want and they liked him so much they wouldn't let him rest even for a second and he died of exhaustion.

@elvin, any position except goalie. I've done it and it's not fun. I'd rather take a penalty than have to save one.

Everybody likes the guy who has least 2 wishes left. And the local catholic priest, also told me, I look sexy (but a bit too old).

But you don't get the virgins until after you're dead, so you will already have exhausted your wishes when you get them. Point about the virgins, I think, is the precipitation of the promises of the assassin-order to present-day islamic extremism... Back in the eleventh century young men were given hashish and brought into this pleasure gadren thing, complete with concubines. Then they were told that it was Paradise, and that angels would carry them back if they carried out murders of their enemies. Today's version is the alleged 72 virgins you will recieve if you "martyr" yourself.

Oh, and I'd like to quote another bit from Achmed the dead terrorist:
"No, I would not kill the Jews. I would toss a penny between them and watch them fight to the death! Ha-ha-ha-haaa... I did the same thing with a couple of Catholics and a young boy!"
Gotta hand it to Jeff Dunham for being able to put down stereotypes of shame from two religions at the same time. :)
