Mulla Nasrudin lived far beyond his
means and was constantly hounded by his creditors. But he was so used to them
that their presence caused him no distress. In fact, he treated them with the
utmost courtesy.
Once he even served a bill collector
champagne.
"If you cannot afford to pay your
debts," the bill collector demanded, "how can you afford to serve champagne?"
"DON'T GET SORE," said
Nasrudin, "I ASSURE YOU, THIS HASN'T BEEN PAID FOR EITHER, SIR."
