As usual, MullaNasrudin showed up for
supper with dirty hands and a dirty face.
"Go wash up," his wife
screamed at him. "Night after night I tell you. And night after night you
always come to the table without washing. Why don't you ever do it without my shouting
at you?"
"WELL," said the Mulla,
"IT'S ALWAYS WORTH A TRY. WHO KNOWS? YOU MIGHT FORGET ONCE."
