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 little old Newfie man standing at a small makeshift display rack -
selling ties.

The Taliban terrorist asked, "Do you have water?"

The Newfie replied, "I have no water. Would you like to buy a tie? They are
only $5."

The Taliban shouted hysterically, "Idiot Infidel! I do not need such an
over-priced 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 Newfie, "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."

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!"
