The Mulla decided that he would learn something from this impressive figure, and started a conversation by asking him who and what he was. "I am a Yogi," said the other, "and I spend my time in trying to attain harmony with all living things." "That is interesting," said Nasrudin, "because a fish once saved my life." The Yogi begged him to join him, saying that in a lifetime devoted to trying to harmonize himself with the animal creation, he had never been so close to such communion as the Mulla had been. When they had been contemplating for some days, the Yogi begged the Mulla to tell him more of his wonderful experience with the fish, "now that we know one another better." "Now that I know you better," said Nasrudin, "I doubt whether you would profit by what I have to tell." But the Yogi insisted. "Very well," said Nasrudin. "The fish saved my life all right. I was starving at the time, and it sufficed me for three days." ========== ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Sep 1993 12:05:00 EST From: "Shirley D.

The mormon is having a warm milk, of course. The protestant pulls out his wallet and displays a picture of his family saying, 'As you can see here, we've been blessed with four tall children. I'm hoping for one more so we can have our own basketball team.' The catholic says, ' that's wonderful, but I'll go you one better. The blessed virgin and my wife have given me TEN children. One more and I'll have my own football team' The mormon is quite impressed, but pulls out his wallet nonetheless. He says, 'You all have wonderful families, but I am truly the most fortunate of all. As you can see in this picture, I've got 17 wives. One more and I'll have my own golf course!' ========== ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Sep 1993 22:33:29 EST From: Dani Mudge Subject: achey breaky joke Two men were about to be executed, and were asked if they had any final requests. The first man's request was "I'd like to hear Achey Breaky Heart one last time before I die". The second man's request was "I'd like to be executed first". ========== ------------------------------
