Mulla Nasrudin used to say:
”It is easy to understand the truth of the recent report that says that the children of today cry more
and behave worse than the children of a generation ago.
BECAUSE THOSE WERE NOT CHILDREN – THEY WERE US.”

”You sold me a car two weeks ago,” Mulla Nasrudin said to the used-car salesman.
”Yes, Sir, I remember,” the salesman said.
”WELL, TELL ME AGAIN ALL YOU SAID ABOUT IT THEN,” said Nasrudin. ”I AM GETTING
DISCOURAGED.”

An artist was hunting a spot where he could spend a week or two and do some work in peace and
quiet. He had stopped at the village tavern and was talking to one of the customers, Mulla Nasrudin,
about staying at his farm.
”I think I’d like to stay up at your farm,” the artist said, ”provided there is some good scenery. Is there
very much to see up there?”
”I am afraid not ” said Nasrudin. ”OF COURSE, IF YOU LOOK OUT THE FRONT DOOR YOU CAN
SEE THE BARN ACROSS THE ROAD, BUT IF YOU LOOK OUT THE BACK DOOR, YOU CAN’T
SEE ANYTHING BUT MOUNTAINS FOR THE NEXT FORTY MILES.”

Mulla Nasrudin and his wife were sitting on a bench in the park one evening just at dusk. Without
knowing that they were close by, a young man and his girl friend sat down at a bench on the other
side of a hedge.
Almost immediately, the young man began to talk in the most loving manner imaginable.
”He does not know we are sitting here,” Mulla Nasrudin’s wife whispered to her husband. ”It sounds
like he is going to propose to her. I think you should cough or something and warn him.”
”WHY SHOULD I WARN HIM?” asked Nasrudin. ”NOBODY WARNED ME.”

Mulla Nasrudin was testifying in Court. He noticed that everything he was being taken down by the
court reporter. As he went along, he began talking faster and still faster. Finally, the reporter was
frantic to keep up with him.
Suddenly, the Mulla said, ”GOOD GRACIOUS, MISTER, DON’T WRITE SO FAST, I CAN’T KEEP
UP WITH YOU!”

Mulla Nasrudin’s servant rushed into the room and cried, ”Hurry your husband is lying unconscious
in the hall beside a large round box with a piece of paper clutched in his hand.”
”HOW EXCITING,” said Mulla Nasrudin’s wife, ”MY FUR COAT HAS COME.”

Mulla Nasrudin trying to pull his car out of a parking space banged into the car ahead. Then he
backed into the car behind. Finally, after pulling into the street, he hit a beer truck. When the police
arrived, the patrolman said, ”Let’s see your licence, Sir.”
”DON’T BE SILLY,” said Nasrudin. ”WHO DO YOU THINK WOULD GIVE ME A LICENCE?”

The preacher was chatting with Mulla Nasrudin on the street one day.
”I felt so sorry for your wife in the mosque last Friday,” he said, ”when she had that terrible spell of
coughing and everyone turned to look at her.”
”DON’T WORRY ABOUT THAT,” said the Mulla. ”SHE HAD ON HER NEW SPRING HAT.”

The barber asked Mulla Nasrudin, ”How did you lose your hair, Mulla?”
”Worry,” said Nasrudin.
”What did you worry about?” asked the barber.
”ABOUT LOSING MY HAIR,” said Nasrudin.

”You sure look depressed,” a fellow said to Mulla Nasrudin. ”What’s the trouble?”
”Well,” said the Mulla, ”you remember my aunt who just died. I was the one who had her confined to
the mental hospital for the last five years of her life.
When she died, she left me all her money. NOW I HAVE GOT TO PROVE THAT SHE WAS OF
SOUND MIND WHEN SHE MADE HER WILL SIX WEEKS AGO.”
