desperate for water, was plodding through the
Afghanistan 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, "Idiot! I do not need an overpriced tie. I need
water!"
"OK," said the old Jew, "it does not matter that you do not want
to buy a tie, and that you insult me. 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. "Your brother won't let
me in without a tie".
