A man on a camel rode through miles of the sun-drenched desert searching for some sign of life. His supplies were running low when his camel died. Now on foot, he desperately sought refuge from the heat, and, most importantly, a source for water. Suddenly, he came across a vendor in the middle of the desert.
|
"Thank God I found you!" the man cried. "Please help me. I'm in dire need of some water."
|
"Well," said the vendor, "I don't have any water. But would you like to buy one of these fine ties."
|
"What am I going to do with a tie?" the man asked.
|
"That's what I'm selling sir. If you don't like it, I can't help you."
|
The man left the vendor and walked on for many more miles, praying each minute that he would find refuge from the scorching sun. His eyes squinted a bunch of times when he came across a restaurant in the distance. Unable to comprehend a restaurant located in the middle of the desert, he assumed the place was a mirage, but decided to check it out anyway. As he approached the door, his mouth opened in amazement, seeing that the place actually existed.
|
The doorman stopped him before he entered. "Excuse me sir," the doorman said, "But you can't come in here without a tie!"
