Some beach

Did you hear about the guy from Brooklyn who was in the Sahara Desert in swimming trunks, for heaven’s sake, and a towel? Walking in the Sahara Desert, he meets an Arab, and he says, “Hi.” And the Arab says, “Hi.” He asks, “How far away from here is the sea?”

“The sea? For heaven’s sake,” says the Arab, “that’s a thousand miles away from here.” And the guy from Brooklyn says, “Boy, some beach you guys have out here!”
