A Saudi government functionary was trying to convince a Shaikh of the al Murrah tribe, of the Empty Quarter, to settle his pastoral camel herders in a newly built town. He told the Shaikh that the well was dug deep, electrified and guaranteed to last 100 years! The Shaikh answered,"The wells in the desert have been used by us 1000 years, why would we want only a 100 year well"
