Need Water! 

A traveler was stumbling through the desert, desperate for water, then he
saw something, far off in the distance. 

Hoping to find water, he walked towards the image, only to find a little old
peddler sitting at a card table with a bunch of neckties laid out. 

The parched wanderer asked, "Please, I'm dying of thirst, can I have some
water?" 

The man replied "I don't have any water, but why don't you buy a tie? Here's
one that goes nicely with your clothes." 

The desperate man shouted, "I don't want a tie, you idiot, I need water!" 

"OK, don't buy a tie. But to show you what a nice guy I am, I'll tell you
that over that hill there, about 5 miles, is a nice restaurant. Walk that
way, they'll give you all the water you want." 

The man thanked the peddler and walked away towards the hill and eventually
disappeared out of sight. 

Three hours later he returned. 

The man at the card table asked, "I told you, about 5 miles over that hill.
Couldn't you find it?" 

"I found it all right. They wouldn't let me in without a tie."

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving
safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, chocolate in one hand, a drink in the other, body thoroughly used
up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO. What a ride!'"
