A fleeing Al Qaeda guerrilla, desperate for water, is plodding along through the Iraqi desert, when he sees something far off in the distance. Hoping to find water, he walks toward the object, only to find a little old Jewish man, at a small stand, selling neckties. The Arab asks, "Do you have any water?" The Jewish man replies, "I have no water. Would you like to buy a tie? They are only $5.00." The Arab shouts, "Idiot Jew! Israel should not exist! I do not need an overpriced tie. I need water! I should kill you, but I must find water first." "OK", says the old Jew, "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 water you need. Shalom." Muttering, the Arab staggers off, over the hill. Several hours later he staggers back, near collapse, from exhaustion. With deep animosity he says, "Your brother won't let me in without a tie."
