MEMORY

How are you getting on with that memory training course you got by correspondence, Mulla?'

'I'm improving. Now I can sometimes remember that I have forgotten something.'

Nasrudin, ferrying a pedant across a piece of rough water, said something ungrammatical to him. “Have you never studied grammar?� asked the scholar.
“No.�
“Then half of your life has been wasted.�
A few minutes later Nasrudin turned to the passenger. “Have you ever learned how to swim?�
“No. Why?�
“Then all your life is wasted—we are sinking!�

WHAT'S LEFT

Mulla Nasrudin went to a donkey market.

'Are you in the market for donkeys?' a merchant asked him.

'Yes,' said Nasrudin.

'What about one of these remarkably handsome beasts?'

'Just a minute,' said the Mulla, 'I want you to show me the worst donkeys you have.'

'Those are the worst.'

'Very well, then, I'll take the rest.'
