Two fellows at a cocktail party were talking about Mulla Nasrudin, a friend of theirs, who also was there.
"Look at him," the first friend said, "over there in the corner with all those girls standing around listening to him tell big stories and bragging. I thought he was supposed to be a woman hater."
"HE IS," said the second friend, "ONLY HE LEFT HER AT HOME TONIGHT."

"I think I'd like to stay up at your farm," the artist said, "provided there is some good scenery. Is there very much to see up there?"
"I am afraid not " said Nasrudin. "OF COURSE, IF YOU LOOK OUT THE FRONT DOOR YOU CAN SEE THE BARN ACROSS THE ROAD, BUT IF YOU LOOK OUT THE BACK DOOR, YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING BUT MOUNTAINS FOR THE NEXT FORTY MILES."
