A fleeing Taliban, desperate for water, was plodding through the

 

Afghan desert when he saw something far off in the distance.

 

 

 

 

 

Hoping to find water, he hurried toward the oasis only to find a

 

Queens Own Highlander soldier selling regimental ties, name was Shep.

 

 

 

 

 

The Taliban asked, "Do you have water?"

 

 

 

 

 

Dougy replied, "There is no water, the well is dry. Would you

 

like to buy a tie instead? They are only £5."

 

 

 

 

 

The Taliban shouted, "You idiot infidel! I do not need an

 

over-priced tie. I need water! I should kill you, but I must find water

 

first!"

 

 

 

 

 

"OK," OK" said Dougy, "It does not matter that you do not want to

 

buy a tie and that you hate me. I will show you that I am bigger than that,

 

and that I am a much better human being than you. If you continue over that

 

hill to the east for about two miles, you will find our Sergeant's Mess.

 

It's leader is a clan chief called Dykes he has all the ice cold water you need.

 

Inshallah and Caberfeidh".

 

 

 

Cursing him, the Taliban staggered away over the hill.

 

.

 

Several hours later he staggered back, collapsed with dehydration &

 

rasped......"They won't let me in without a f-------g tie!
