11.
Mulla Nasrudin complained to the health department about his brothers.
â€ÂI have got six brothers,†he said. â€ÂWe all live in one room. They have too many pets. One has twelve
monkeys and another has twelve dogs. There’s no air in the room and it’s terrible! You have got to
do something about it.â€Â
â€ÂHave you got windows?†asked the man at the health department.
â€ÂYes,†said the Mulla.
â€ÂWhy don’t you open them?†he suggested.
â€ÂWHAT?†yelled Nasrudin, â€ÂAND LOSE ALL MY PIGEONS?â€Â
12.
Mulla Nasrudin had just asked his newest girlfriend to marry him. But she seemed undecided.
â€ÂIf I should say no to you†she said, â€Âwould you commit suicide?â€Â
â€ÂTHAT,†said Nasrudin gallantly, â€ÂHAS BEEN MY USUAL PROCEDURE.â€Â
13.
The young lady had said she would marry him, and Mulla Nasrudin was holding her tenderly. â€ÂI
wonder what your folks will think,†he said. â€ÂDo they know that I write poetry?â€Â
â€ÂNot yet, Honey,†she said. â€ÂI HAVE TOLD THEM ABOUT YOUR DRINKING AND GAMBLING, BUT
I THOUGHT I’D BETTER NOT TELL THEM EVERYTHING AT ONCE.â€Â
14.
Mulla Nasrudin was looking over greeting cards.
The salesman said, â€ÂHere’s a nice one – â€ÂTO THE ONLY GIRL I EVER LOVED.â€Â
â€ÂWONDERFUL,†said Nasrudin. â€ÂI WILL TAKE SIX.â€Â
15.
â€ÂWell, Nasrudin, my boy,†said his uncle, â€Âmy congratulations! I hear you are engaged to one of the
pretty Noyes twins.â€Â
â€ÂRather!†replied Mulla Nasrudin, heartily.
â€ÂBut,†said his uncle, â€Âhow on earth do you manage to tell them apart?â€Â
â€ÂOH,†said Nasrudin. â€ÂI DON’T TRY!â€Â
16.
â€ÂAnd are mine the only lips, Mulla, you have kissed?†asked she.
â€ÂYES,†said Nasrudin, â€ÂAND THEY ARE THE SWEETEST OF ALL.â€Â
17.
â€ÂWhat made you quarrel with Mulla Nasrudin?â€Â
â€ÂWell, he proposed to me again last night.â€Â
â€ÂWhere was the harm in it?â€Â
â€ÂMY DEAR, I HAD ACCEPTED HIM THE NIGHT BEFORE.â€Â
18.
â€ÂWhat do you want with your old letters?†the girl asked her ex-boyfriend, Mulla Nasrudin. â€ÂI have
given you back your ring. Do you think I am going to use your letters to sue you or something?â€Â
â€ÂOH, NO,†said Nasrudin, â€ÂIT’S NOT THAT. I PAID A FELLOW TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS TO WRITE
THEM FOR ME AND I MAY WANT TO USE THEM OVER AGAIN.â€Â
19.
Mulla Nasrudin said to his girlfriend. â€ÂWhat do you say we do something different tonight, for a
change?â€Â
â€ÂO.K.,†she said. â€ÂWhat do you suggest?â€Â
â€ÂYOU TRY TO KISS ME,†said Nasrudin, â€ÂAND I WILL SLAP YOUR FACE!â€Â
20.
â€ÂWhat’s the best way to teach a girl to swim?†a friend asked Mulla Nasrudin.
â€ÂFirst you put your left arm around her waist,†said the Mulla. â€ÂThen you gently take her left hand
and…â€Â
â€ÂShe’s my sister,†interrupted the friend.
â€ÂOH, THEN PUSH HER OFF THE DOCK,†said Nasrudin.
