Salt
-------------------------
An Afghanistan diplomat visiting the US for the first time was being
wined and dined by the State Department.
The diplomat 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 diplomat.
"A thousand pardons, O Illustrious One," stammered the wretched Abdul,
"But a man is sitting on the well!"

Take It With You

There once was an old man who was about to die. He told his wife to put a bag of money in the attic.
"When I die I'll get it on my way up." chuckled the old man.
Well when the old man died the wife went up to the attic and found that the bag of money was still there.
"I knew I should have put that money in the cellar!" said the old woman.
