A Bedouin wandering in the Sahara happened upon an American dressed in a bathing suit, flip-flops, a big, over-sized t-shirt and sunglasses.

The Bedouin gazed at him in amazement, “What are you doing all the way out here dressed like that!?”

“I’m going swimming,” the tourist explained.

“But the ocean is eight hundred miles away,” the Arab informed him.

“Eight hundred miles!” the American exclaimed with a whistle of appreciation. “Boy, what a beach!”
