A GLASS OF WATER...
An Arab diplomat visiting the US for the first time was being wined and dined by the State Department.
The Grand Emir was unused to the salt in American
foods (French fries, cheeses, salami, anchovies etc.) and was constantly
sending his manservant Abdul to fetch him a glass of water.
Time and again, Abdul would scamper off and return with a glass of water.
Then came the time when he returned empty-handed.
"Abdul, you son of an ugly camel, where is my water?" demanded
the Grand Emir.
"A thousand pardons, Oh Illustrious One," stammered the
wretched Abdul, "white man sit on well."
