An Afghanistan diplomat visiting the US for the first time was being wined and dined by the State Department.
The diplomat was not use to all of the salt that's in American foods (French fries, cheeses, salami, anchovies, etc.) and was constantly sending his manservant Abdul to fetch him a refreshing glass of water.
Time and again, Abdul would scamper off, only to return with a glass of cool refreshing water, but then came the time when Abdul 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!"
