Mulla Nasrudin's son, studying
political science, asked his father, "Dad, what's a traitor in
politics?"
"Any man who leaves our
party," said the Mulla, "and goes over to the other one is a
traitor."
"Well, what about a man who leaves
his party and comes over to your's?" asked the young man.
"HE'D BE A CONVERT, SON,"
said Nasrudin, "A REAL CONVERT."
