Nasrudin Gets Sued
Nasrudin was going around town saying that, “The wise men of this town put together don’t know shit.”
One day, a group of them took Nasrudin to court, and demanded that he back up his statement or else face punishment.
“OK,” said Nasrudin.
He presented each of them with a piece of paper and pencil, and remarked, “Now each of you should write an answer to this question: ‘What is shit?’“
They all wrote a response and handed it to the judge, who read them out loud.
“The scientist wrote that shit it is a composition of water and foodwastes.
“The philosopher wrote that it is a living being’s manifestation of the universe’s prevalent themes of cycles and changes.
“The doctor wrote that it is the matter that must be passed through the body as part of regularity of bowels and good health.
“The religious leader wrote that it is a symbol of our sins passing through our body.
“The fortuneteller wrote that it is material that can be used to tell our future.
After hearing these answers, Nasrudin remarked, “You see what I mean—all of these wise men put together don’t know shit.”

The great allure of the tales is that they are funny as well as and educational and thought provoking.
