John: Water. I'm thirsty
Bedouin: You must buy this tie first.
John: I have no money, I need water
Bedouin barked three more times, john didn't pay attention and kept walking
6 hours later, John found a tent and a sign:
Free drinks only if you wear a tie


Life is ironic!

Oh my, that is so very clever! Poor John. He's got a lot of walking to do.

Yeah! He's better got back for that tie. Ha ha ha

You know. It happens sometimes. We are blind to life signals or warnings

Now that's an interesting perspective! I had not thought of it as the moral of the story.

Thanks for reading! Cheers

I like that dialogue format! Of course in Vienna it's not essential to survive, more a question of to which society you wanna belong to: you won't get into some restaurants without a tie. To serve you a glass of water though is protected by law in Austria. Btw, I love ties, too :D

Thanks for your comment @sciencevienna. It is interesting that it is a law in Austria. I hope It should be all over the world.

Well, no offense, there is a saying here in my country when a girl is kind of an easy girl: She's like a glass of water. It is denied to nobody.

Thanks for reading!

Cheers

But take care: Still waters run deep ;)

I forgot to say: And here, there's restaurants where you required to wear a suit coat to enter.

The very definition of irony, well done @jadams2k18! I'm late to this contest but just made the deadline. I scrolled to your comment on @jayna's post and came over to see. Glad I did. Looking forward to more contests like this, and to see what you've done.
