A fleeing Taliban
terrorist, desperate for water, was plodding through the Afghan desert when he
saw something far off in the distance. Hoping to find water, he hurried toward
the mirage, only to find a very frail old Jewish man standing at a small
makeshift display rack selling ties.
The Taliban terrorist
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
hysterically, “You idiot infidel! I do not need such an overpriced western
adornment – I spit on your ties! I need water!”
“Sorry, I have none – just
ties – pure silk – and only $5.”
“Pahh! A curse on your
ties! I should wrap one around your scrawny little 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 infidel. 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. Shalom.”
Cursing him again, the
desperate Taliban staggered away over the hill.
Several hours later he
crawled back, almost dead and gasped...
“They won't let me in without a tie!”
