Ask Abdul

Cultivate the art of profuse excuses. Nobody believes them but at least you prove that you care and have imagination. This reminds me of a story:


A neighbour came, again, to ask Hodja to lend him his donkey, Abdul.

“I must go and ask Abdul first,” answered Nasrudin.” If he agrees, he’s yours for the whole day.”

He went and came back after a short while:

“How unfortunate! He is totally unwilling.

He said that things can only go wrong, and I, his master will come out with a disadvantage.

If you go in front of him, he will bite you. If you go behind him, he will kick you. If you mount him he will bolt and throw you. Anyway, whatever of these, you will curse me.”
