Wives

Nasrudin belonged to a club called “The Assembly of those who are not afraid of their wives”.

One day the Chairman called the meeting to order in the customary manner, saying: “O all you who are not afraid of your wives – be seated.”
All sat except the Mulla.

“What’s the matter, Nasrudin – are you afraid of your wife?”
“I’m not afraid of her, but I can’t sit down. She beat me so hard last night that I’m black and blue.”
