Someone sent this to me. Enjoy !


A man fleeing al Qaeda guerrilla, desperate for water,
was plodding throughthe Iraqi 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 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.'The Arab
shouted, 'Idiot Jew ! Israel should not exist ! 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 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.'
