Mulla Nasruddin has applied for a job. The manager looked at him and did not feel that he’s even qualified to apply for it. He asked him, “Can you read and write?”
Mulla Nasruddin said, “I cannot read, but I can write.”
The manager was surprised; this is a rare situation — he could have never conceived of a man who cannot read but can write. He said, “Then write!” He gave him a paper and Mulla immediately started writing on it. He went fast — one page, two pages, three pages.
The manager said, “Now you stop! You please read what you have written, because I cannot read.”
Nasruddin said, “That I have told you before — I can only write! I can’t read.”
