All Tied Up

[Guest palexxxx]

The Taliban and the Jew

 

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 $50."

 

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."

 

Muttering, the Taliban staggered away over the hill. Several hours

 

later he st aggered back, almost dead.

 

"Your freakin brother won't let me in without a tie!"
