An Arab was walking through the Sahara desert, desperate for
water, then he saw something, far off in the distance.
Hoping to find water, he walked towards the image, only to
find a little old Jewish man sitting at a card table with a
bunch of neckties laid out on it.
The Arab asked, "Please, I'm dying of thirst, can I have some water?"
The man replied "I don't have any water, but why don't you
buy a tie? Here's one that goes nicely with your robes."
The Arab shouted, "I don't want a tie, you idiot, I need water!"
"OK, so don't buy a tie. But to show you what a nice guy I am,
I'll tell you that over that hill there, about 3 more miles, is a
nice restaurant my brother runs. Walk that way, they'll give
you all the water you want. But I still think you should buy a nice tie."
The Arab thanked him and walked away towards the hill and
eventually disappeared.
Three hours later the Arab came crawling back to where the man
was sitting behind his card table. He said "I told you, about
3 miles over that hill. Couldn't you find it?"
The Arab rasped "Oh I found it alright! But they wouldn't let me in
without a tie!"
