DESPERATE FOR WATER

A Palestinian terrorist fleeing from Israeli border police was plodding through the Negev desert desperate for water when he saw something far off in the distance.

Hoping to find water, he hurried toward the mirage, only to find a very frail little old Jewish man standing at a small makeshift display rack selling neckties.

The Palestinian terrorist asked, "Do you have water?"

The Jewish man replied, "I have no water. Would you like to buy a tie? They are only 20 Shekels."

The Palestinian shouted hysterically, "Idiot pig of a Jew! I do not need any of your over-priced neckties - I spit on your ties. I need water!”

"Sorry, I have none - just ties - pure silk - and only 20 Shekels."

"Pahh! A curse on your ties! I should wrap one around your scrawny little Jew neck and choke the life out of you, but I must conserve my energy and find water!"

"Okay," said the little old Jewish man, “It does not matter that you do not want to buy a tie from me, or that you hate me, threaten my life, and call me an idiot pig of a Jew. I will show you that I am bigger than any of that. If you continue over that hill to the east for about two miles, you will find a restaurant. It has the finest food and all the ice-cold water you need. Go in peace."

Cursing him again, the desperate terrorist staggered away over the hill.

Several hours later the Palestinian terrorist crawled back all but dead and gasped, "They won't let me in without a tie!”
