- 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 ~ 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.
