Mulla Nasrudin and one of his friends were attending a garden party for charity which featured games of chance.
"I just took a one-dollar chance for charity," said the friend, "and a beautiful blonde gave me a kiss. I hate to say it, but she kissed better than my wife!"
The Mulla said he was going to try it. Afterwards the friend asked: "How was it, Mulla?"

The man at the poultry counter had sold everything except one fryer. Mulla Nasrudin, a customer, said he was entertaining at dinner and wanted a nice-sized fryer. The clerk threw the fryer on the scales and said, "This one will be $1.35."
"Well," said the Mulla, "I really wanted a larger one."
The clerk, thinking fast, put the fryer back in the box and stirred it around a bit. Then he brought it out again and put it on the scales. "This one," he said, "will be S1.95."
"WONDERFUL," said Nasrudin.
