202 Q21
MULLA NASRUDDIN
Meet Mulla Nasruddin
(left joke)
Mulla Nasrudin used to say : "EVERY
MARRIED MAN SHOULD FORGET HIS
MISTAKES, NO USE TWO PEOPLE
REMEMBERING THE SAME THING."
(right joke)
The architect was having a
difficult time with Mulla
Nasrudin, a prospective home builder.
"But can't you give some idea," he pleaded,
"of the general type of house you want
to build, Nasrudin?"
"WELL --" replied the Mulla
hesitantly, "all I know is: it must go
with an antique doorknob my wife
bought the other day."
- Note
- What do we have here?
- The most specific reference suggests the manuscript is part of Meet Mulla Nasruddin, one of the early Joke books.
- But the thing is: neitheir of the two jokes are part of that book. Which suggests that the more general tag "MULLA NASRUDDIN" applies. And that tag "202" suggests a link with that other book 202.
- In fact, we were not able to find the left joke anywhere in the published texts. We have designated that writing as event Mulla Nasruddin Extra Jokes ~ 01.
- The right joke is also not found in any of the joke-books, but is told by Osho, almost literally, in A Sudden Clash of Thunder, ch.3.
