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 hurried toward the*oasis, only to find a little old Jewish man at a small*stand, selling ties..
*
The Taliban asked, "Do you have water?"
*
The Jewish man replied, "I have no water.. Would you like to*buy a tie? They are only £5."
*
The Taliban shouted,
"Idiot! I do not need an over-priced*tie. I need water! I should kill you, but I must find water*first!
*
"OK," said the old Jewish man, "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 ice cold water you need.*Shalom."
Cursing, the Taliban staggered away over the hill.*
Several*hours later he staggered back, almost dead & said
*
"Your freaking brother won't let me in without a tie!"
