A fleeing taliban, desperate for water, was plodding
through the Afghan desert when he saw something far off
in the distance. Hoping to find water, he walked toward the
object, only to find a little old Jewish man sitting at a
card table with neckties laid out on it.
The Arab asked, "My thirst is killing me. Do you have
water?"
The Jewish man replied, "I have no water. Would you like to
buy a tie? They are only $150. This one goes very nicely
with your robes."
The Arab shouted, "You idiot! I do not need an overpriced
tie. I need water!"
OK, I know You could see that one coming a mile off[msnwink]
"OK," said the old Jew, "it does not matter that you do not
want to buy a tie. I will show you that you have not
offended me. If you walk over that hill to the east for
about two miles, you will find a lovely restaurant. Go! Walk
that way! The restaurant has all the water you need!"
The Arab staggered away toward the hill and eventually
disappeared. Four hours later the Arab came crawling back to
where the Jewish man was sitting at his table.
The Jew said, "I told you, about two miles over that hill.
Could you not find it?
"I found it all right," rasped the Arab. "But your brother
won't let me in without a tie."
