Mulla Nasrudin, who was in the congregation whispered to the man next to him, ”I THINK I WILL
RISK ONE EYE.”

The boss was asked to write a reference for Mulla Nasrudin whom he was dismissing after only one

A man who took his little girls to the amusement park noticed that Mulla Nasrudin kept riding the
merry-go-round all afternoon. Once when the merry-go-round stopped, the Mulla rushed off, took a
drink of water and headed back again. As he passed near the girls, their father said to him, ”Mulla,
you certainly do like to ride on the merry-go-round, don’t you?”
”NO, I DON’T. RATHER I HATE IT ABSOLUTELY AND AM FEELING VERY SICK BECAUSE OF IT,”
said Nasrudin. ”BUT,

”I will take you,” cried a stranger.
They went immediately to the target range, and the Mulla fired his first shot. ”MISS,” he calmly and
promptly announced.
A second shot, ”MISSED,” repeated the Mulla.
A third shot. ”MISSED,” snapped the Mulla.
”Hold on there!” said the stranger. ”What are you trying to do? You are not even aiming at the target.
And, you have missed three targets already.”
”SIR,” said Nasrudin, ”I AM SHOOTING FOR THAT TEN SPOT OF YOURS, AND I AM CALLING
MY SHOT AS PROMISED.”

”I REALLY DON’T KNOW,” said Nasrudin. ”YOU SEE, I HAVE ONLY BEEN WITH HIM FOR 180
YEARS.”
