One night, Mulla Nasrudin was on his way home when a drunken man bumped into him violently. Nasrudin reproached him saying: Idiot! Are you too blind to see a person as big as me?

The drunken man, staggering on, answered, As a matter of fact, I see two of you… not just one.

Then, why did you bump into me?

Well, I was trying to walk between you.

Once, someone requested of Mulla Nasrudin: Give me your ring as a memento, so that whenever I look at it I will remember you.

Mulla replied: You cannot have the ring. But whenever you want to remember me, just look at your finger and remember that I did not give you the ring!

After his wife died, Mulla Nasrudin married a widow. But things did not go smoothly because Mulla constantly talked about his former wife and the woman constantly talked about her dead husband.

One night, lying in bed, they began to talk about their former spouses again, when sudenly Mulla shoved his wife off the bed. The woman was so upset about this incident that the next day she complained about Mulla to her father. The father-in-law asked Mulla why he had pushed his daughter off the bed. Mulla said:

Believe me, it was not my fault. With my former wife and her deceased husband, there were four of us in the bed, and there was not enough room, so she just fell off!

Compass

lmvnp2 — Sat, 18 Feb 2017 18:47:11 +0000

Someone brought a compass that he had found and asked Mulla Nasrudin if he knew what it was. Mulla looked at the compass and began to cry. A few minutes later, he stopped crying and began to laugh.

The man asked: Why did you cry and why are you laughing now?

Mulla said: I cried because I thought how stupid you were not to know what a tiny object like this is. Then I laughed, because when I thought about it, I realized that I didn't know what it was either.

The Innocent Thief

Mulla Nasrudin's donkey was stolen from its stable one night. The next morning, whenMulla found out that he had been robbed, he began searching for the donkey, asking the neighbors whether or not they had seen his donkey.

The neighbors, who had heard the news, began to scold Mulla. One said: Why did you leave the stable door open?

Another said: Why did you not keep your eyes open so the thief could not steal it?

A third one said: You sleep like a log. That is why you could not hear the stable door open and catch the thief.

Hearing all this, Mulla became angry and said: Well, as you would have it, I am guilty of everything you say, and the thief is completely innocent!

A beggar knocked on Mulla Nasrudin's door. Mulla opened the window from upstairs and said: What do you want?

Come down here and I'll tell you, said the beggar.

Mulla came all the way down and opened the door. Well, what do you want?

Can you spare me a coin? requested teh beggar. Feeling annoyed, Mulla shut the door and went upstairs and opened the window. Come up here.

The beggar climbed up several flights of stairs and knocked on the door. Nasrudin said, I'm sorry, but I don't have any change to spare.

Why didn't you tell me this downstairs so that I didn't have to climb up so many stairs? asked the beggar.

And why didn't you tell me, asked Mulla, when I first asked you want you wanted?

The Procession

lmvnp2 — Sat, 18 Feb 2017 18:47:07 +0000

A group of Muslim religious leaders once got together and, having nothing better to do that day, began to talk on trivial matters. One of them asked:

During a funeral procession, should one walk on the right side of the coffin or on the left?

Immediately, the group was divided by a difference of opinion. Half said that they would walk on the right side, while the other half maintained that they would walk on the left side. Finally, they decided to go to Mulla Nasrudin and ask for his religiouns proclamation. Mulla listened carefully and then said laughingly:

It does not matter, just as long as you are not on the inside.
