NO TIME TO WASTE Nasrudin ran to an appointment in a near-by town, stark naked. People asked him why. 'I was in such a hurry to get dressed that I forgot my clothes.' FORGOTTEN HIMSELF Nasrudin called at a castle to collect for charity. 'Tell your master', he said to the doorkeeper, 'that the Mullar Nasrudin is here and asks for money.' The man went into the building, then came out again.. 'I am afraid that my master is out,' he said. 'Let me give you a message for him, then,' said Nasrudin. 'Even though he has not contributed he can have this advice, free. Next time he goes out he should not leave his face at the window. Someone might steal it.' FIXED IDEAS 'How old are you, Mullah?' 'Forty.' 'But you said the same last time I asked you, two years agao!' 'Yes, I always stand by what I have said.' THE USE OF A LIGHT 'I can see in the dark,' boasted Nasrudin one day in the teahouse. 'If that is so, why do we sometimes see you carrying a light through the streets?' 'Only to prevent other people from colliding with me.' TIT FOR TAT Nasrudin went into a shop to buy a pair of trousers. Then he changed his mind and chose a cloak instead, at the same price. Picking up the cloak he left the shop. 'You have not paid,' shouted the merchant. 'I left you the trousers, which were of the same value as the cloak.' 'But you did not pay for the trousers either.' 'Of course not,' said the Mulla- 'why should I pay for something that I did not want to buy?' GUESS WHAT? A wag met Nasrudin. In his pocket he had an egg. 'Tell me, Mulla; are you any good at guessing games?' 'Not bad,' said Nasrudin. 'Very well, then: tell me what I have in my pocket.' 'Give me a clue, then' 'It is shaped like an egg, it is yellow and white inside, and it looks like an egg.' 'Some sort of a cake,' said Nasrudin. |
