An Ottoman diplomat visiting the US for the first time was being wined and dined by the State Department. Efendi bey was unused to the salt in American foods (French fries, Hot dogs, , Hamburgers etc.) and was constantly sending his manservant Abdul to fetch him a glass of water.
Time and again, Abdul would scamper off and return with a glass of water.
But, then came the time when he returned empty-handed.
"Abdul, you son of an ugly camel, where is my water?" demanded the Efendi
"A thousand pardons, O illustrious One," stammered the wretched Abdul, "An infidel is sitting on the well."
