One
day Mulla Nasrudin visited a large department store to buy his wife some nylon
hose. Inadvertently he got caught in the mad rush of a counter where a bargain
sale was going on. He soon found himself being pushed and stepped on by frantic
women. He stood it as long as he could, then with head lowered and elbows out,
he plowed through the crowd.
"You
there!" said a woman. "Can't you act like a gentleman?''
"Not
anymore," said Nasrudin. "I have been acting like a gentleman for an
hour. From now on I am acting like a lady."
