Water

[MARTINOZ]

A fleeing Taliban, desperate for water, was plodding through the
Afghanistan desert when he saw something far off in the distance.
Hoping to find water, he hurried toward the object, 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 overpriced 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."

Muttering, the Taliban staggered away over the hill. Several hours later he staggered back.
"Your f**king brother won't let me in without a tie."

That reminds me of :-

A gang of lads are trying to get into a club - but one of them doesn't have a tie - and the doormen wont let him in without one.
So the lads go back to their car and rummage around for a tie.
Eventually the find a set of jump leads and manage to tie them around this lads neck to resemble a tie.
They go back to the club and one of the doormen says "You can go in - but don't start anything !!"
