Subject: Two Arabs
Two Arabs boarded a flight out of New York after a hockey game. One sat in
the window seat and the other sat in the middle seat.
Just before takeoff, an American got on and took the aisle seat. After
takeoff, the American kicked his shoes off, wiggled his toes and was
settling in when the Arab in the window seat said, "I think I'll get up and
get a beer."
"No problem," said the American, "I'll get it for you."
While he was gone, one of the Arabs picked up the American's shoe and spat
in it.
When he returned with the beer, the other Arab said, "That looks good, I
think I'll have one too." Again, the American obligingly went to fetch it
and while he was gone, the other Arab picked up the other shoe and spat in
it.
When the American returned to his seat, they all sat back and enjoyed the
flight. As the plane was landing, the American slipped his feet into his
shoes and knew immediately what had happened. "Why does it have to be this
way?" he asked. "How long must this go on? This fighting between our
nations? This hatred? This animosity? This spitting in shoes, and pissing in
beers?"
