Hanging wright
Mulla Nusruddin’s best friend, Ricky Wright, had been accused of murder, and Mulla had been in a funk for weeks while the trial proceeded. Wright was convicted and sentenced to death by hanging. The only hope left for Mulla’s friend was a pardon from the governor, but, on the evening of the scheduled execution, the pardon hadn’t happened. Mulla came home in the evening and went straight to the cupboard for a drink.
“Directly to the bottle, huh?” complained his wife. “Not even a hello for me?” “Nag, nag, nag,” said Mulla. He took off his shoes and headed upstairs to take his bath.
“Why can’t you take your shoes off at the door like everyone else?” asked his wife.
“Nag, nag, nag,” said Mulla. While he was upstairs, a neighbor came to the door and told his wife that the governor had pardoned Wright at the last minute.
When the neighbor left, Mulla’s wife ran upstairs to tell him. Mulla had taken his clothes off and was bending over, filling the bath. “They’re not hanging Wright tonight!” she exclaimed.
“Nag, nag, nag,” said Mulla.

A litre of milk
Mulla Nasruddin went to the milkman with a small pot. “Give me one liter of cow’s milk,” he said.
“A liter of cow’s milk won’t fit in that pot,” said the milkman.
“Okay, fine,” said the Mulla. “Give me a liter of goat’s milk.”
