An Arab diplomat visiting the US for the first time was being wined and dine
d by the State Department.  The Grand Emir was unused to the salt in America
n foods (french fries, cheeses,  salami, anchovies etc.,) and was constantly
 sending his man-servant Ab
dul to fetch him a glass of water.
Time and again, Abdul would scamper off and return with a glass of  water, b
ut then came the time when he returned empty-handed. "Abdul, you son of an u
gly camel, where is my water??"  demanded the Grand Emir.
"A thousand pardons, O Illustrious One,"  stammered the wretched  Abdul, "wh
ite man sit on well."
