Which reminds me of the days (long) past


A Taliban, 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 spot only to find a Sindhi Tailor selling ties of different kinds..

Taliban asked, "Do you have water..?"

The Sindhi Tailor replied, "There is no water here, the well is dry. Would you like to buy a tie instead..? They are only $10."

The Taliban shouted, "You idiot..! I do not need an over-priced tie. I need water..! I cud kill you, But I must find water first..!"

"OK," said the Sindhi, "It does not matter that you do not want to buy a tie and that you hate me. I will show you that I am a much better human being than you. If you continue over that hill to the east for about two miles, you will find a British Army Officers' Mess. It has all the Ice cold water & food wud you need."

Cursing him, the Taliban staggered away over the hill.

Several hours later he staggered back, collapsed with dehydration & rasped ....

"They won't let me in without a f.cking tie..!"

BTW, does the European Union flag still have twelve stars? Surely it should be down to eleven now that the UK has quit?
