Aspasia
A fleeing al Qaeda guerrilla, desperate for water, was plodding
through the 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."
