If you don't think about boredom...

Hallo all of you,
My views are:
Mulla Nasrudin
A short biography: http://pages.ivillage.com/nafisa2002/Mulla.htm
Mulla Nasrudin in the version of the Entangled Clothesline
A neighbor came to borrow Nasrudin's clothesline.
"I am sorry but I am drying flour on it."
"But how can you dry flour on a line?"
"It is less difficult than you think, when you don't want to
lend it."
It is the same with BOREDOM - it is only important if you think about it.
1.
Voting with closed eyes
*Mulla Nasrudin was called in the election bribery case. "You say," asked the judge, "that you were given $10 to vote for the Democrats, and you got another $10 to vote for the republicans?" "Yes, Sir, Your Honour," said the Mulla. "And how did you vote?" asked the judge. "YOUR HONOUR," said Nasrudin, "I VOTED ACCORDING TO MY CONSCIENCE." *
So now you tell me what we do with each of your conscience's ?
2.
The withness to the Bhagdad Affair
Mulla Nasrudin's testimony in a shooting affair was unsatisfactory. When
asked, "Did you see the shot fired?" the Mulla replied, "No, Sir, I only
heard it."
"Stand down," said the judge sharply. "Your testimony is of no value."
Nasrudin turned around in the box to leave and when his back was turned to
the judge he laughed loud and derisively. Irate at this exhibition of
contempt, the judge called the Mulla back to the chair and demanded to
know how he dared to laugh in the court.
"Did you see me laugh, Judge?" asked Nasrudin.
"No, but I heard you," retorted the judge.
"THAT EVIDENCE IS NOT SATISFACTORY, YOUR HONOUR." said Nasrudin
respectfully.
So Saddam is going to be a free man. (smile...)
3.
Crazy in the Western hemisphere
*Late one night a psychiatrist found himself staring into the muzzle of a large pistol. He was shocked to recognize the gunman who was holding him up. "See here, Nasrudin," he said. "Don't you remember me? I am your benefactor. Don't you remember the time I saved you from the electric chair by proving you were crazy?" Mulla Nasrudin laughed and laughed and laughed. "SURE I REMEMBER YOU, SIR. BUT, AIN'T ROBBING YOUR BENEFACTOR A CRAZY THING TO DO?" *
With other words: The president changed his name.
4.
The PAST
"You sure do look downhearted, Mulla? What's the matter?" asked a friend. "It's my future that worries me," said Nasrudin. "What makes your future so black?" the friend asked. "MY PAST," replied Nasrudin.
Yes. That is it: "Back to the future" - is the remedy.
Have any of you ever been there ?
5.
Not W. Q. Judge's wife but a politicians
"The judge was questioning Mulla Nasrudin. "I understand that your wife is scared to death of you," he said. "That's right, your Honor," said the Mulla. The judge leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Man to man," he said, "HOW DO YOU DO IT?"
Certain secrets are just too dangerous to reveal at a place like this.
With other words: There is a woman behind everything.
Did this help with your votes, oppositions and all ?
(smile...)
