Can I borrow your clothesline?

Neighbor: "Nasrudin, can I borrow your clothesline?"

Nasrudin: "I need it right now. I'm hanging flour on it."

"What? That is ridiculous. Whoever heard of someone hanging flour on a clothesline?"

"Only those who others don't want to lend it to!"

Nasrudin the singer

One day, Nasrudin sang in a bathhouse, and was very pleased with the sound that was boosted tremendously by the bathhouse acoustics.

When Nasrudin left, he went to the village center and began singing--but the people looked at him in wonder, and one shouted out, "What are you doing? You're not the one to be singing; your voice is no good!"

"Oh yeah," Nasrudin, replied. "Just build a bathhouse here, and then you'll find out how great my voice is!"
