"Too much Salt"
A Slobovian diplomat visiting the US for the first time was being wined and dined by the State Department. The Grand Poobah 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, but one time he came the time when he returned empty-handed.
"Frank, you son of an ugly yak, where is my water?" demanded the Grand Poobah.
"A thousand pardons, O Illustrious One," stammered the wretched Abdul, "American man sit on well." |
