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, a Marine sat down in the aisle seat. After takeoff, the Marine 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 Marine. "I'm in the aisle seat. I'll get it for you." As soon as he left, one of the Arabs picked up the Marines shoe and spat in it. When the Marine returned with the coke, the other Arab said, "That looks good, I'd really like one, too."

Again, the Marine obligingly went to fetch it. While he was gone the other Arab picked up the Marines other shoe and spat in it. When the Marine returned, they all sat back and enjoyed the flight. As the plane was landing, the Marine 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, and this animosity? This spitting in shoes and pissing in cokes?"

When will it end? ;)

Don't you people ever get tired of disputing each other ;)

LOL omg, that's funny.

I guess arguably this is true. The best strategy at times just may be to not even try. They say if you don't try you automatically lose, but there are some tests in schools where the act of not answering makes you lose zero points, whereas if you answer incorrectly you lose, I think, a quarter of a point.

Also in technical terms, if you never enter a match no one can really call you a loser. Take for instances a war, if you never get into any wars, and your country is surviving, it'd just be literally wrong to even say that country has lost.

Great debate, even if it's meant jokingly, I love it.

Quite an amusing read, I must say. I wasn't sure where it was going but, then Hilarious punchline.

Any blood sport that doesn't involve consenting human adults disgusts me personally.
