_________________________________________
/ A man is crawling through the Sahara \
| desert when he is approached by another |
| man riding on a camel. When the rider |
| gets close enough, the crawling man |
| whispers through his sun-parched lips, |
| "Water... please... can you give... |
| water..." |
| |
| "I'm sorry," replies the man on the |
| camel, "I don't have any water with me. |
| But I'd be delighted to sell you a |
| necktie." |
| |
| "Tie?" whispers the man. "I need |
| *water*." |
| |
| "They're only four dollars apiece." |
| |
| "I need *water*." |
| |
| "Okay, okay, say two for seven |
| dollars." |
| |
| "Please! I need *water*!", says the |
| man. |
| |
| "I don't have any water, all I have are |
| ties," replies the salesman, and he |
| heads off into the distance. |
| |
| The man, losing track of time, crawls |
| for what seems like days. Finally, |
| nearly dead, sun-blind and with his |
| skin peeling and blistering, he sees a |
| restaurant in the distance. Summoning |
| the last of his strength he staggers up |
| to the door and confronts the head |
| waiter. |
| |
| "Water... can I get... water," the |
| dying man manages to stammer. |
| |
\ "I'm sorry, sir, ties required." /
