Mulla Nasrudin thought he was going to
die with a toothache. He asked his friend, "What can I do to relieve the
pain?"
"I will tell you what I do,"
his friend said. "When I have a toothache, or a pain, I go over to my
wife, and she puts her arms around me, and caresses me, and soothes me until
finally I forget all about the pain."
Nasrudin brightened up and said: "GEE,
THAT'S WONDERFUL! IS SHE HOME NOW?"
