The Pumpkin and the Walnut
One warm day, Nasrudin was relaxing in the shade of a walnut tree. After awhile he pondered the huge pumpkins growing on vines nearby and the small walnuts growing on a towering tree.
"Sometimes I just cannot understand the ways of God" he thought. "Why on earth does he let tiny walnuts grow on such a majestic tree and enormous pumpkins on those delicate vines!"
Just then a walnut fell from the tree and smacked Nasrudin square on top of his bald head. He got up at once and lifted his hands to the heavens in supplication.
"Oh my God! Forgive me for my questioning ways! You are the one who is all-wise. Where would I be now if pumpkins grew on trees!"

Nasrudin went into a bank that he did not usually use and asked to withdraw a large sum of money from his account. The bank clerk was naturally suspicious and asked him politely:
"Have you any means of identifying yourself?"
Nasrudin reached down into the pockets of his long cloak and found an ornate mirror. He held the mirror up and looked studiously into it and exclaimed to the clerk:
"Yes, that’s me all right."
Quoting from [macs2005]:Mullah Nasrudin is a fictional character quite popular in the Mideast and in particular amongst the Afghan people. I will be featuring here some of these humorous tales for your enjoyment and reflection. Enjoy!

very nice and would to hear some more about mullah Nasiruddin
It works, doesn't it!
The Mullah was beating a drum as hard as he could. The neighbours were fed up at the racket and asked him what he was doing.
He replied, "Keeping wild tigers at bay."
A neighbor shouted, "But Mullah, there are no wild tigers within a thousand miles of here."
The Mullah smiled and replied, "It works, doesn't it!"
A drunk is searching the ground under a street lamp. A friend gets there and asks him what he is doing. The drunk slurs, "I'm looking for my key."
The friend helps him search every where. Half an hour later they still have not found the key. The friend asks, "Are you sure you lost it here?"
"No," replies the drunk, "I lost it inside my house."
"Then why are you looking here?"
Quoting from [macs2005]:"No," replies the drunk, "I lost it inside my house."
"Then why are you looking here?"
Answer: It's too dark in there! - I learned this joke when I was a little kid...
