Oh man! I can't even pick a favorite one, I am laughing so hard. I love Mullah Nasruddin stories, they totally rock!

Who was Mullah Nasruddin? Wikipedia says this:

Nasreddin was a lower Muslim cleric who lived during the Middle Ages. His name is spelled differently in various cultures and is often preceded or followed by titles "Mullah", or "Hodja" (see section "Name variants"). Nasreddin was a populist philosopher and wise man, remembered for his funny stories and anecdotes.

Nasreddin often appears as a whimsical character of a large Arab, Azeri, Bengali, Bosnian, Hindi, Pashto, Persian, Serbian, Turkish and Urdu folk tradition of vignettes, not entirely different from zen koans. He is also very popular in Greece; he is also known in Bulgaria, although in a different role, see below.

more at Wikipedia...and elsewhere, I am sure!

i have lots...even books full but i cant be bothered translating them

Once, when Mullah Nasruddin was visiting a Western town, he was invited to attend a fashion show. He went, and afterwards he was asked how he liked it. "It's a complete swindle!" he exclaimed indignantly. "Whatever do you mean?" he was asked. "They show you the women - and then try to sell you the clothes!"

My thoughts (That funny snooker ball with eyes came in ma head) and words exactly, how did you do that?

Mullah Nasrudeen is a fictional character who's stories are a favourite among muslim youth and adults. He is supposed to be very illogical and unintelligent which makes his stories fun to read.

Please Share your stories, as I will share mine

Once, the people of The City invited Mulla Nasruddin to deliver a khutba. When he got on the minbar (pulpit), he found the audience was not very enthusiastic, so he asked "Do you know what I am going to say?" The audience replied "NO", so he announced "I have no desire to speak to people who don't even know what I will be talking about" and he left.

The people felt embarrassed and called him back again the next day. This time when he asked the same question, the people replied "YES" So Mullah Nasruddin said, "Well, since you already know what I am going to say, I won't waste any more of your time" and he left.

Now the people were really perplexed. They decided to try one more time and once again invited the Mullah to speak the following week. Once again he asked the same question - "Do you know what I am going to say?" Now the people were prepared and so half of them answered "YES" while the other half replied "NO". So Mullah Nasruddin said "The half who know what I am going to say, tell it to the other half" and he left!

LOL

Another one:
"When I was in the desert," said Nasruddin one day, "I caused an entire tribe of horrible and bloodthirsty bedouins to run."

"However did you do it?"

"Easy. I just ran, and they ran after me."


Inshalah you enjoyed this, please post your nasrudeen jokes!

Mullah Nasrudeen went into a shop to buy a pair of trousers. Then he changed his mind and chose a cloak instead for the same price. Picking up the cloak he left the shop.
"You have not paid!" Shouted the merchant.
"I left you the trousers, they are of the same value." said the mullah
"But you did not pay for the trousers either!"
"Ofcourse not," said the mullah "Why should i pay for somthing i do not want?"

lol

LOL ive seen thes b4. lol they funny,., i like dis one:

One day, Mulla Nasruddin said to his friends: "If I die, bury me in an old grave." "Why", asked his friends. "Because", he explained, "if the angels come, I'll tell them that I died years before and have already been questioned and then they will return the way they came."

How old are you, Mullah? Someone asked Mullah Nasruddin.

Three Years Older Than My Brother, said Mullah Nasruddin.

How Do You Know That?

Mullah Nasruddin said: Reasoning. Last Year. I Heard My Brother Tell Someone That I Was Two Years Older Than Him. A Year Has Passed. That Means That I am older by one year. I Shall Soon Be Old Enough To Be His Grandfather!
