Mullah Nasrudin

I was reading the Afghan novel again last night, and became acquainted with Mullah Nasrudin jokes, which apparently are a staple of Afghan humor. Here are a few examples from the article on Nasrudin at www.wikipedia.org. Two sides of a river Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back. Camel Ride One day, the venerable Mullah Nasrudin came galloping on camel-back through a small village. His camel carried him at a rush into and out of the village without stop, while the villagers all stared in curiosity at his passing. The very next day, the Mullah and his camel came rushing back through the village, all the time his eyes furiously searching on all sides of him. Again, the villagers watched open mouthed wondering just what Nasrudin was up to. On the third day, the Mullah Nasrudin and his camel once again came galloping through the village, but this time a small boy ran out in front, causing him to screech to a halt.: The small boy asked, "Great Mullah, what are you looking for?!" The Mullah Nasrudin responded, "For my camel. Have you seen him?"
