Sahara Desert. A somewhat predictable oldie but amusing nevertheless. A guy was lost in 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 old man sitting at a card table with a bunch of neckties laid out on it. The guy asked, "Please, IтАЩm dying of thirst, can I have some water?" The old man replied, "I donтАЩt have any water, but why donтАЩt you buy a tie?. HereтАЩs one that goes nicely with your shirt." The guy shouted, "I donтАЩt want a tie, you idiot! I need water!" "OK, donтАЩt buy a tie, but to show you what a nice guy I am, IтАЩll tell you that over that dune there, about five miles down, there is a nice restaurant my brother runs. Go over that way, theyтАЩll give you all the water you want." The guy thanked him and walked away towards the dune and eventually disappeared. Three hours later the guy came crawling back to where the old man was sitting behind his card table. The old man said, "I told you, about five miles over that dune. CouldnтАЩt you find it?" The guy rasped, "I found it, they wouldnтАЩt let me in without a tie."
