An Arab lost in the desert was desperate for water. Suddenly, far off in the distance, he saw what looked like a human figure. As he dragged himself closer, he saw an old Jewish man sitting in a hut, selling neckties. “Do you have water,” the Arab asked. “Sorry,” the Jew replied. “I don’t have water, but I have neckties for sale. They’re only $25.” The Arab went nuts, cursing the Jew and screaming that he didn’t need a tie. He needed water. “OK,” the Jew replied, “If you don’t want a tie, don’t buy it. If you continue over that hill to the east for about 2 miles, you will find a lovely restaurant. It has all the water you need. Shalom.” Muttering, the Arab staggered away over the hill. Several hours later he staggered back, near collapse. “Your brother won’t let me in without a tie.”
