An Arab was walking through the Sahara desert, desperate for water, when he saw something, far off in the distance. Hoping to find water, he walked towards the image, only to find a little old Jewish man sitting at a card table with a bunch of neckties laid out on it. The Arab asked, "Please, I'm dying of thirst, can I have some water?". The man replied "I don't have any water, but why don't you buy a tie? Here's one that goes nicely with your robe." The Arab shouted, "I don't want a tie, you idiot, I need water!" "OK, don't buy a tie. But to show you what a nice guy I am, I'll tell you that over that hill there, about 4 miles, is a nice restaurant. Walk that way, they'll give you all the water you want." The Arab thanked him and walked away towards the hill and eventually disappeared. Three hours later the Arab came crawling back to where the man was sitting behind his card table. He said, "I told you, about 4 miles over that hill. Couldn't you find it?" The Arab rasped "I found it alright. They wouldn't let me in without a tie!"

Your nickel poem reminded me of this song (sorry, content-disassociative memory lookup routines in my skull). Loved this one when I was a kid; my wife teaches it to her Kindergartners. To the tune of "Turkey In The Straw" (verses only, no chorus) ==================================== Well I ran around the corner and I ran around the block And I ran right into the doughnut shop And I picked up a doughnut and I wiped of the grease And I handed the lady a 5-cent piece Well.. She... Looked at the nickel and she looked at me And she said "This nickel's no good, you see It's got a hole in the middle and it goes right through" I said "The donut's got a hole in the middle too!" Thanks for the doughnut, Bye Now ("Shave and a Haircut" is the tune for the last line)
