    An Arab diplomat visiting the US for the first time was
    being wined and dined by the State Department. The
    Grand Emir was not used to the salt in American foods
    (french fries, cheeses, salami, anchovies etc.) and was
    constantly sending his manservant Abdul to fetch him a
    glass of water.

    Time and again, Abdul would scamper off and return
    with a glass of water, but then came the time when he
    returned empty-handed.

    "Abdul, you son of an ugly camel, where is my water?"
    demanded the Grand Emir.

    "A thousand pardons, O Illustrious One," stammered the
    wretched Abdul, "white man sit on well."
