through the<br>
Afghan desert when he saw something far off in the distance.
Hoping to<br>
find water, he hurried toward the oasis, only to find a little
old</font></span></div>
<span style=""><font color="black" face="arial" size="2">Jewish man
at a small stand, selling ties.<br>
<br>
The Taliban asked, "Do you have water?"<br>
<br>
The Jewish man replied, "I have no water. Would you like to buy
a tie?<br>
They are only $5."<br>
<br>
The Taliban shouted, "Idiot! I do not need an over-priced tie. I
need<br>
water! I should kill you, but I must find water first!"<br>
<br>
"OK," said the old Jewish man, "It does not matter that you do
not<br>
want to buy a tie and that you hate me. I will show you that I
am<br>
bigger than that. If you continue over that hill to the east for
about<br>
two miles, you will find a lovely restaurant. It has all the ice
cold<br>
water you need. Shalom."<br>
<br>
Cursing, the Taliban staggered away over the hill Several hours
later<br>
he staggered back, almost dead & said,<br>
Your pig of a brother won't let me in without a tie!"</font></span>
