Meal or preaching?

The local religious leader invited Nasrudin over for dinner one night.

Nasrudin, not having eaten much that day, was famished when he got there, and eger to eat as soon as possible.

After two hours, however, the religious leader had yet to offer Nasrudin any food, and instead spoke nonstop about a variety of religious topics.

As Nasrudin grew more annoyed with each passing minute, he finally interrupted the man and said, "May I ask you something?"

"What?" the religious leader answered, eager to hear some religious question that would prompt him to continue talking.

"I was just wondering," Nasrudin said, "did any of the people in your stories ever eat?"
