Two Arabs boarded a shuttle out of Washington
for New York. One sat in
the window seat, the other in the middle seat.
Just before takeoff a fat little Israeli guy got
on and took the aisle
seat next to the Arabs. He kicked off his shoes,
wiggled his toes and was
settling in when the Arab in the window seat
said, "I think I'll go up
and get a coke."
"No problem," said the Israeli. "I'll get it for
you." While he was
gone, the Arab picked up the Israeli's shoe and
spat in it.
When the Israeli returned with the coke, the other
Arab said, "That
looks good. I think I'll have one too." Again,
the Israeli obligingly went to
fetch it, and while he was gone the other Arab
picked up the other shoe
and spat in it.
The Israeli returned with the coke, and they all
sat back and enjoyed
the short flight to New York.
As the plane was landing the Israeli slipped his
feet into his shoes and
knew immediately what had happened. "How long
must this go on?" he
asked.
"This enmity between our peoples..... this hatred...
this animosity...
this spitting in shoes and peeing in cokes?"
