A fleeing Al Qaida guerilla, desperate for water, was plodding through

you
have any water?"

The Jewish man replied, "I have no water. Would you like to buy a tie?
They are only $5.00."

The Arab shouted, "Idiot Jew!! Israel should not exist! You Jews should
be
demolished, gone forever. I do not need a stupid, overpriced tie, you
idiot! I need water! I should kill you right now, but I must find water,
for I am weak, but I shall come back and destroy you and all of your
ties!!!"

"OK", said the old Jew, "It does not matter to me that you do not want
to
buy a tie from me, nor that you hate me. I will show you that I am more
forgiving and a better person than you think me to be. I will help you.
If
you continue over that hill to the east for about two miles, you will
find
a lovely restaurant. They have plenty of fresh, spring water. Shalom."

Muttering to himself, the Arab staggered away over the hill.

Several hours later he came staggering back, near collapse and said,
"Your
brother won't let me in without a tie."

I don't get it.

I doubt it.

Doubt what?

I doubt that you didn't get the joke!

Um...I honestly didn't get it.

It wasn't funny.

Haven't you ever been to a restaurant where ties & jackets were required?
Maybe they're all gone now...I dunno. Some even had extra sport jackets for
guys who showed up without one. So the old guy's selling ties blah blah
blah...never mind.

Well, I thought it was pretty funny. shrug

Guerillas don't wear ties.

Get it now? :-

Guerillas or Gorillas?

He said GO rillas not Guer illlas. There's a big difference. (Captain
Ron)

I still don't get it.

Ill logic.

Are you saying you didn't get it *because* it wasn't funny? (In which case
math problems must have been a bitch!)

Or, are you saying you didn't get it *and* it wasn't funny? (In which case
I'll try to provide explanations for punch lines.)

Or, are you just being your ornery self?

You forgot one...he may have not gotten it, *so* it wasn't funny. However to
follow Shortwave's logic, you could take out Al Qaida and Jew, and put
*anyone* in there, *I* still think it's funny. At least that what he says
makes a good joke. What do I know...I short sheet my son's bed. g.

Did ya hear the one when Gene Roddenberry was being interviewed by an Arab
leader....?
