Two Pakistanis boarded a shuttle out of Washington for New York. One sat in the window seat, the other in the middle seat. Just before takeoff an Indian got on and took the aisle seat next to the Pakistanis. He kicked off his shoes, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the Pakistani in the window seat said,
"I think I'll go up and get a coke."
"No problem," said the Indian. "I'll get it for you."
While he was gone, the Pakistani picked up the Indian's shoe and spat in it.
When the Indian returned with the coke, the other Pakistani said,
"That looks good. I think I'll have one too."
Again, the Indian obligingly went to fetch it, and while he was gone the second Pakistani picked up the other shoe and spat in it.
The Indian returned with the coke, and they all sat back and enjoyed the flight to New York.
As the plane was landing, the Indian slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened."How long must this go on?" he asked.
"This enmity between our people... this hatred... this animosity... this spitting in shoes... and this peeing in cokes?"
