Joke of the Day

This one comes from Kevin:

Two Arabs boarded a flight out of New York bound for the mid-East. One sat in the window seat and the other sat in the middle seat. A seasoned American businessman took the aisle seat. After takeoff, the American kicked his shoes off, wiggled his toes and was settling in to review an important business file when the Arab in the window seat said, "I think I'll get up and get a beer if that's OK with you?." "No problem," said the American, "Oh, sit back, I'll get it for you." While he was gone, one of the Arabs picked up the American's shoe and spat in it. When he returned with the beer, the other Arab said, "That looks really refreshing, I think I'll have one, too. Will you excuse me?" Again, the American obligingly went to fetch it and while he was gone, the other Arab picked up the other shoe and spat in it. When the American returned to his seat, they all sat back and relaxed for the rest of the long flight, but as the plane was about to land, the American slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened. He looked at the Arabs and said, "Why does it have to be this way? How long must this go on. this animosity between our nations, this hatred, this spitting in shoes and pissing in beers. Tell me! How long, HOW LONG?"
