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 spit 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 is gone
the Arab other picked up the
other shoe and spit 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 shoe
s
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?“
