The Arab, desperate for water, plodded through the Iraqi desert
until 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 at a small stand
selling neckties.... The Arab asked, "Do you have
water?"
The Jewish man replied, "I have no water Would you
like to buy a tie? They are only $5.00."
The Arab shouted, "Idiot Jew! Israel should not
exist! I do not need an overpriced tie. I need water!
I should kill you, but I must find water first.
"OK", said the old Jew, "it does not matter that you
do not want to buy a tie and that you hate me. I will
show you that I am bigger than that. If you continue
over that hill to the east for about two miles, you
will find a lovely restaurant. It has all the water
you need. Shalom!"
Muttering, the Arab staggered away over the hill.
Several hours later he staggered back, near collapse.
"Your brother won't let me in without a tie.
