Two men are walking through the desert. It's been two weeks since their
water rations ran out, and the sun is beating down mercilessly.
All of a sudden, one of them spots a few market stalls by a sand dune.
"It can't be real. It's a mirage, let's ignore it," he says.

But as they got closer, they could hear the sound of voices. The market
was real! They ran up to the first stall holder.

"Have you got some water we could buy?" asks one of the men.

"No. I'm sorry sir, but all I sell is jelly and custard with hundreds
and thousands on top."

So they go up the next stall.
"Have you got any water we could buy. We're on the verge of certain
death," but again the same answer.

"No. I'm sorry sir, but all I sell is jelly and custard with hundreds
and thousands on top."

The men, desperate by this point, go up to every stall holder, asking
the same question and getting the same answer.

Defeated, they walk off into the desert to face their miserable fate.

"I say, that was a bit odd," said one of the men.

"Yes," said the other, "It was a trifle bazaar."
