It is just me...

Hallo all,
My views are:
A little tale...
Mulla Nasrudin into money
1.
Mulla went into a bank with a cheque to cash.
"Can you identify yourself?" asked the clerk.
Nasrudin took out a mirror and peered into it.
"Yes, that's me all right," he said.
2.
Nasruddin opened a booth with a sign above it:
Two Questions On Any Subject Answered For Only
100 Silver Coins.
A man who had two very urgent questions handed
over his money, saying:
- A hundred silver coins is rather
expensive for two questions, isn't it?
- Yes, said Nasruddin, and the next question, please?
3. Nasruddin used to stand in the street on market-days,
to be pointed out as an idiot. No matter how often people
offered him a large and a small coin, he always chose the
smaller piece. One day a kindly man said to him: Nasruddin,
you should take the bigger coin. Then you will have more money
and people will no longer be able to make a laughing stock of you.
That may be true, said Nasruddin, but if I always take the larger,
people will stop offering me money to prove that I am more idiotic
than they are. Then I would have no money at all.
4. Mullah Nasruddin was dreaming that someone had counted
nine gold pieces into his hand, but Mullah Nasruddin insisted that
he would not accept less than ten pieces. While he was arguing with
the man over one gold piece, he was awakened by a sudden noise in
the street. Seeing that his hand was empty, Mullah Nasruddin quickly
closed his eyes, extended his hand as if he was ready to receive, and
said, "Very well, my friend, have it your way. Give me nine."
5. False Gold might make you happy.
But at the policestation it will all be discovered !
