The Mulla walked into a shop one day. The owner came forward to serve him.
"First things first," said Nasrudin, "did you see me walk into your shop?"
"Of course."
"Have you seen me before?"
"Never in my life."
"Then how do you know it is me?"
ANOTHER:
One day, the Mulla asked his wife to make a large quantity of halwa. He ate nearly all of it. In the middle of the night, Nasrudin woke her up.
"I've just had an important thought."
"Tell it to me."
"Bring me the rest of the halwa, and I will tell you."
When she had brought it, she asked him again.
The Mulla first finished up the halwa.
"The thought," said Nasrudin, "was: Never to go to sleep without finishing up all the halwa that has been made during the day."
