Nasruddin, ferrying a scholar across a piece of rough water, said something ungrammatical to him. ‘Have you never studied grammar?‘ asked the scholar. ‘No.‘ ‘Then half of your life has been wasted.‘
A few minutes later Nasruddin turned to the passenger.‘Have you ever learned how to swim?‘ ‘No. Why?‘ ‘Then all your life has been wasted,we are sinking!‘

Nasruddin heard that a position for Judge was open in his town. He took to walking about with a fishing net over his shoulder. People asked him, what’s up with the fishing net? “I started out as a fisherman. I keep this net to remind me of my simple origins. replied Nasruddin.
Everyone was impressed by his humility. So impressed they chose him to be their new judge. After that he quit carrying the fishing net around. People asked him, what’shappened with the net? “Surely, once the fish are caught there is no longer any need for the net!” he replied.

The teacher is droning on in the lecture hall when he spots a student sleeping, way up in the back row. The teacher shouts to the sleeping student’s neighbour: “Hey, wake that student up!“ To which Nasruddin, the youth’s neighbour, calls back: “You put him to sleep, teacher you wake him up!“
