The Jewish Tie Salesman

The Jewish Tie Salesman
A fleeing Taliban terrorist, 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 the mirage, only to find a very frail little old Jewish man standing at a small makeshift display rack - selling ties.
The Taliban terrorist asked, "Do you have water?"
The Jewish man replied, "I have no water.  Would you like to buy a tie? They are only $5."
The Taliban shouted 
hysterically, "Idiot Infidel!  I do not need such an over-priced western adornment.  I spit on your ties.  I need water!”
"Sorry, I have none, just ties - pure silk, and only $5."
"Pahh!  A curse on your ties!  I should wrap one around your scrawny little neck and choke the life out of you but . . . I must conserve my energy and find water!"
"Okay," said the little old Jewish man. β€œIt does not matter that you do not want to buy a tie from me, or that you hate me, threaten my life, and call me infidel.  I will show you that I am bigger than any of that. If you continue over that hill to the east for about two miles, you will find a restaurant.  It has the finest food and all the ice-cold water you need.  Go In Peace."
Cursing him again, the desperate Taliban staggered away, over the hill. 
Several hours later, he crawled back, almost dead, and gasped,

 
 
 
 
"They won't let me in without a tie!”
"Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me . . . Anything can happen, child. Anything can be"
