Mulla Nasruddin was visiting the town dentist to get some advance prices on his work.
”The price for pulling a tooth is four dollars each,” the dentist told him. ”But in order to make it
painless we will have to give gas and that will be three dollars extra.”
”Oh, don’t worry about giving gas,” said the Mulla.
”That won’t be necessary. We can save the three dollars.”
”That’s all right with me,” said the dentist. ”I have heard that you mountain people are strong and tough. All I can say is that you are a brave man.”
”It isn’t me that’s having my tooth pulled,” said Nasrudin. ”it’s my wife.”
