We have this joke in Egypt:

A guy is at a restaurant, eating a meal of seafood. He finishes his meal and calls the waiter over, then says:
“The fish want to swim.”
The waiter goes away and comes back with water.
Another guy is sitting nearby, having his own meal, which was a steak. He finishes his food and decides to be clever too. He calls over the waiter, and says:
“The ox needs a drink.”

Edit: and just to clarify: calling someone a bull/cow/ox in the Middle East is usually an insult that implies that they’re stupid/dim/careless.
