A fleeing Taliban fighter, desparate for a drink, was plodding through the Afghan desert when he came across a little man at a stall selling ties.
"Do you have water?" asked the Taliban rebel
"No, but would you like to buy a tie? Fifty dollars."
"Fool !" shouted the fighter. "I don't need an overpriced tie. I should kill you, but I must find water first".
"OK", said the stall holder. "It does not matter that you do not want my ties, and that you hate me. I will show you that I am a bigger man than than. If you continue over that hill for about 4 miles, you will find a lovely restaurant. It has all the ice-cold water you need."
Muttering, the fighter staggered over the hill. 4 hours later he returns.
"Your filthy swine of a brother won't let me in without a tie."
