मुल्ला नसरुद्दीन के किस्से व हास्य-रहस्य

CHAPTER 1. "Running strong!" After a few seconds, "How is Bolivar at the three-quarter?" "Holding his own." "How is Bolivar in the stretch?" "In there running like hell!" said Nasrudin. "HE IS HEADING FOR THE LINE, DRIVING ALL THE OTHER HORSES IN FRONT OF HIM." 181. "Why do you call your mule "POLITICIAN," Mulla?" a neighbor asked. "BECAUSE," said Mulla Nasrudin, "THIS MULE GETS MORE BLAME AND ABUSE THAN ANYTHING ELSE AROUND HERE, BUT HE STILL GOES AHEAD AND DOES JUST WHAT HE DAMN PLEASES." 182. "You look mighty dressed up, Mulla," a friend said to Mulla Nasrudin. "What's going on, something special?" "Yes," said the Mulla, "I am celebrating tonight with my wife. I am taking her to dinner in honor of seven years of perfect married happiness." "Seven years of married happiness," the friend said. "Why man, I think that's wonderful." "I THINK IT'S PRETTY GOOD MYSELF," said Nasrudin. "SEVEN OUT OF SEVENTY." 183. A newspaper reporter was interviewing Mulla Nasrudin on the occasion of his 105th birthday. "Tell me," he said, "do you believe the younger generation is on the road to perdition?" "YES, SIR," said old Nasrudin. "AND I HAVE BELIEVED IT FOR MORE THAN NINETY YEARS." 184. "Why didn't you answer the letter I sent you?" demanded Mulla Nasrudin's wife. "Why, I didn't get any letter from you," said Nasrudin. "AND BESIDES, I DIDN'T LIKE THE THINGS YOU SAID IN IT!" 185. 202 (Jokes of Mulla Nasrudin) 47 Osho
