Nasrudin: "In that case I'll eat it now."

The young bride was telling her father how wonderful marriage was.
"Do you know Dad," she said, "Ali gives me everything I ask for."

Mulla Nasrudin was obviously enjoying his holiday in the hills. When he returned to his hotel each evening he was full of the wonders of the place.

Suddenly she turned to the Mulla and said: "Do you know that every time I breathe a man dies?"
"Very interesting," returned Mulla Nasrudin. "have you tried toothpaste?"
