Could be a true story

[Ron Attwood]

A British soldier was in the desert in Afghanistan when a Taliban crawled to him over the desert.
“give me water” he said.
The British soldier replied-I don’t have water, the well is dry., would you like to buy a tie instead. They are only 5 gbp each.
You idiot, said the Taliban, I am desperate for water. I don’t need an overpriced tie.
OK, I don’t like the Taliban, and you wont buy a tie, said the soldier, but I am fair minded, so I will tell you that if you can crawl 2 miles to the east beyond the hill, you will find the Sergeant’s mess .It has all the ice cold water you need.
Several hours later the Taliban crawled back, collapsed with dehydration and rasped-“they wont let me into the mess without a f**king tie”

Blackhawk would be quicker than crawling.

Blackhawk would be quicker than crawling.

I forgot. The Taliban have a load of Blackhawks now don't they?
