Two Arabs and an American...

Two Arabs boarded a flight out of London. One took a
window seat and the other sat next to him in the middle seat.

Just before takeoff, an American sat down in the aisle seat.
 
After takeoff, the American kicked his shoes off, wiggled his toes
and was settling in when the Arab in the window seat
said, "I need to get up and get a coke."
 
"Don't get up," said the American, "I'm in the aisle
seat; I'll get it for you."
 
 As soon as he left, one of the Arabs picked up the
American's shoe
and spat in it. When he returned with the coke, the
other Arab said,
"That looks good, I'd really like one, too." Again,
the American
obligingly went to fetch it. While he was gone the
other Arab picked up his
other shoe and spat in it.
 
 When the American returned, they all sat back and
enjoyed the flight.
 
 As the plane was landing, the American slipped his
feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened.
 
 "Why does it have to be this way?" he asked. "How
long must this go on? This fighting between our nations?
This hatred? This animosity?
This spitting in shoes and peeing in cokes ?
