An Iraqi diplomat visiting the US for the first time was being wined and
dined by the State Department.
The Grand Emir wasn't used to the salt in American food (french fries,
cheese, etc.) and was constantly sending his man-servant, Abdul, to fetch
him a glass of water.
Time and again, Abdul would scamper into another room and return with
a glass of water. But finally he returned
empty-handed.
"Abdul, you son of an ugly camel, where is my water?"
demanded the Grand Emir.
"A thousand pardons, O Illustrious One," stammered the wretched Abdul,
"but a man is sitting on the well."
