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!"
