Achmed came to the United States from Afghanistan, and he was only here a few months when he became very ill.

He went to doctor after doctor, but none of them could help him. Finally, he went to an Afghani doctor. The doctor said, "Take this bucket, go into the other room, shit in the bucket, piss on the shit, and then put your head down over the bucket and breathe in the fumes for ten minutes."

Achmed took the bucket, went into the other room, shit in the bucket, pissed on the shit, bent over and breathed in the fumes for ten minutes. Coming back to the doctor he said, "It worked. I feel terrific! What was it?"

The doctor said, "You were homesick."
