Well, well, well! It made me laugh.

A fleeing Taliban, 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 an oasis only to find a Royal Marine selling Corps ties.

The Taliban asked, "Do you have water?" The Marine replied, "There is no
water, the well is dry. Would you like to buy a tie instead? They are
only £15."

The Taliban shouted, "You idiot infidel! I do not need an over-priced tie. I
need water! I should kill you, but I must find water first!"

"OK," said the soldier, "It does not matter that you
do not want to buy a tie and that you hate me. I will show you that I
am bigger than that, and that I am a much better human being than
you. If you continue over the hills to the east for about five miles,
you will find our Sergeant's Mess. It has all the ice cold water you
need. "Insha'Allah."

Cursing him, the Taliban staggered away over the hill.

Several hours later he staggered back, collapsed with
dehydration and rasped.....



"They won't let me in without a ****** tie!”
