A sheik was walking through the Sahara desert, desperate for water, when he saw something far off in the distance. Hoping to find water, he walked towards the image, only to find a little man sitting at a table with a bunch of neckties laid out. The sheik asked, “Please, I’m dying of thirst, can I have some water?”
The man replied, “I don’t have any water, but why don’t you buy a tie? Here’s one that goes nicely with your robe”.
The sheik shouted, “I don’t want a tie, you idiot, I need water!” “OK, don’t buy a tie, but to show you what a nice guy I am, I’ll tell you that over that hill there, about 2 miles, is a nice restaurant. Walk that way. They’ll give you all the water you want.”
The sheik thanked him and walked away towards the hill and eventually disappeared. Three hours later the sheik came crawling back to where the man was sitting behind his table.
The little man said, “I told you, about 2 miles over that hill. Couldn’t you find it?”
The sheik rasped, “I found it all right. Your brother wouldn’t let me in without a tie.”
