I dont know if this one has been posted here before but I can't stop laughing so i decided to share it.
Nasruddin And The Judge
One day, Joe Christian passed by a restaurant. He was tired and hungry, for he had had nothing to eat all day. His nostrils caught the smell of the delicious food being cooked inside. He stopped and sniffed, smiled sadly, and began to walk away. But he did not get far. The owner of the restaurant, Rabbi Moishe, came storming out into the street. "Come here!" he bellowed. "I saw that! You took the smell of my food, and you'll have to pay for it!"
Joe Christian did not know what to do. "I cannot pay!" he stammered. "I have no money!"
"No money!" shouted Rabbi Moishe. "We'll see about that! You're coming with me to the judge!" Naturally, Joe Christian was frightened.
"Hmm," said the judge, when he had heard the story. "Well, this is an unusual case. Let me think. Come back tomorrow, and I'll pronounce the sentence."
What could Joe Christian do? He knew whatever sum the judge demanded, payment would be impossible. All night long he tossed and turned, unable to sleep for worry.
When dawn came he made his way to the judges court. As he passed by a mosque he spotted a familiar figure - Mullah Nasruddin. Suddenly, his heart lifted. For he knew that Mullah Nasruddin was a clever man, who was sure to be able to think of a way around the problem. He poured out his story, and Mullah Nasruddin agreed to come to the court and speak for him.
Rabbi Moishe was already at the court, chatting with the judge. Joe Christian saw that they were friends, and feared the judgment would go against him. He was right. The judge began heaping insults upon Joe Christian as soon as he saw him, and ordered him to pay a very large sum of money. At once, Mullah Nasruddin stepped forward. "My lord," he said to the judge. "This man is a good friend of mines. Allow me to pay in his place."
Then Mullah Nasruddin took a small bag of coins from his belt and held it next to Rabbi Moishe's ear. He shook the bag, so that the coins jingled. "Can you hear that?" asked Mullah Nasruddin.
"Of course," replied Rabbi Moishe, impatiently.
"Well, that is your payment," said Mullah Nasruddin. "My friend here, has smelled your food, and you have heard his money. The debt is paid."
And, in the face of such argument, the case was settled and the Joe Christian went free.

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!
Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side, "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.
lol

"'Cause I hear the whispered words
In your masterpiece beautiful
You speak the unspeakable through
I love you too"
One day Mullah Nasruddin was leading people in congregational prayer and when he finished the prayer, one of the person asked him " Oh Mullah Saab! why you have put the chewing gums on your nose???
Mullah Nasruddin replied " Its better to have your property under your observatin".
Lolsssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

One night Mullah nasruddin was sleeping, suddenly he woke up and told his son to give him his eye glasses. his son asked him that why do you want glasses at night? Mullah Saab replied that to see dreams very precisly and clearly.
One more
one day Mullah Nasrrudin wanted to sell his donkey, on the way to the market, his donkey fell down in the dirt stream and its tail was covered with dirt. So Mullah Saab cut the tail of the donkey so that people don't see the dirt on it and put it on its bag.
when he came to the market, a customer came and said I want to buy your donkey, Mullah saab said take it. When the customer saw the tail, he said why you have cut the tail of the donkey, I don't want it. Mullah saab took out the tail out of the bag and said take the tail with you, no problem.

LOL!this thread is hilarious...hahahaa!I never heard of him before though;I found these two,their absolutly hilarious:
One hot day, Nasruddin was taking it easy in the shade of a walnut tree. After a time, he started eying speculatively, the huge pumpkins growing on vines and the small walnuts growing on a majestic tree.
- Sometimes I just can't understand the ways of God! he mused. Just
fancy letting tinny walnuts grow on so majestic a tree and huge pumpkins on the delicate vines!
Just then a walnut snapped off and fell smack on Mullah Nasruddin's bald head. He got up at once and lifting up his hands and face to heavens in supplication, said:
- Oh, my God! Forgive my questioning your ways! You are all-wise. Where would I have been now, if pumpkins grew on trees!
A neighbor who Nasruddin didn't like very much came over to his compound one day. The neighbor asked Nasruddin if he could borrow his donkey. Nasruddin not wanting to lend his donkey to the neighbor he didn't like told him, "I would love to loan you my donkey but only yesterday my brother came from the next town to use it to carry his wheat to the mill to be grounded. The donkey sadly is not here."
The neighbor was disappointed. But he thanked Nasruddin and began to walk away.
Just as he got a few steps away, Mullah Nasruddin's donkey, which was in the back of his compound all the time, let out a big bray.
The neighbor turned to Nasruddin and said, "Mullah Sahib, I thought you told me that your donkey was not here.
Mullah Nasruddin turned to the neighbor and said, "My friend, who are you going to believe? Me or the donkey?
"how old are you, mulla? Someone asked, 'three years older than my brother.'how do you know that? '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.'
tit for tat
nasruddin went into a shop to buy a pair of trousers. Then he changed his mind and chose a cloak instead, at the same price. Picking up the cloak he left the shop. "you have not paid," shouted the merchant. "i left you the trousers, which were of the same value as the cloak." "but you did not pay for the trousers either.of course not,said mullah ;why should i pay for something that i did not want to buy?"
more useful
one day mullah nasruddin entered his favorite teahouse and said:'the moon is more useful than the sun'. An old man asked 'why mulla?' nasruddin replied 'we need the light more during the night than during the day.'
promises kept
a friend asked the mulla how old are you? Forty replied the mullah. The friend said but you said the samething two years ago ! Yes replied the mullah, i always stand by what i have said.
When you face things alone
you may have lost your donkey, nasruddin, but you don't have to grieve over it more than you did about the loss of your first wife. Ah, but if you remember, when i lost my wife, all you villagers said: We'll find you someone else. So far, nobody has offered to replace my donkey."
LOL, that was funny thanks.
So is this guy fictional or real?
Originally he was real. He was just witty, but then people started making him into a character after he died or something. He was afghani, if that matters. I dont know, I just like Afghani food...
