मुल्ला नसरुद्दीन के किस्से व हास्य-रहस्य

CHAPTER 1. She opened the door and pushed the Mulla through it just in time. But instantly, from the opposite side of the door, came loud thumps and the agonized voice of the Mulla demanding that his wife open it at once. "But the women are here," Mrs. Nasrudin objected. "OH, DAMN THE WOMEN!" yelled Nasrudin. "I AM OUT IN THE BALLROOM." 87. "I can't find anything organically wrong with you," the doctor said to Mulla Nas- rudin. "As you know, many illnesses come from worry. You probably have some business or social problem that you should talk over with a good psychiatrist. A case very similar to yours came to me only a few weeks ago. The man had a 5,000notedueandcouldnotpayit.Becauseofhismoneyproblem, hehadworriedhimselfintoastateofnervo "And did you cure him?" asked Mulla Nasrudin. "Yes," said the doctor, "I just told him to stop worrying; that life was too short to make himself sick over a scrap of paper. Now he is back to normal. He has stopped worrying entirely." "YES; I KNOW," said Nasrudin, sadly. "I AM THE ONE HE OWES THE 5,000TO." 88. It was the final hand of the night. The cards were dealt. The pot was opened. Plenty of raising went on. Finally, the hands were called. "I win," said one fellow. "I have three aces and a pair of queens." "No, I win, ' said the second fellow. "I have three aces and a pair of kings." "NONE OF YOU-ALL WIN," said Mulla Nasrudin, the third one. "I DO. I HAVE TWO DEUCES AND A THIRTY-EIGHT SPECIAL." 89. Mulla Nasrudin and his two friends were arguing over whose profession was first established on earth. "Mine was," said the surgeon. "The Bible says that Eve was made by carving a rib out of Adam." "Not at all," said the engineer. "An engineering job came before that. In six days the earth was created out of chaos. That was an engineer's job." "YES," said Mulla Nasrudin, the politician, "BUT WHO CREATED THE CHAOS?" 202 (Jokes of Mulla Nasrudin) 24 Osho
