To: alt.magick.tyagi,alt.sufi,alt.islam.sufism,talk.religion.misc,talk.religion.newage,alt.religion.gnostic,alt.consciousness.mysticism From: tyagi@houseofkaos.abyss.com (nagasiva) Subject: Lobster: Mulla tips Date: 6 Sep 1997 13:57:36 -0700 [from tariqas@world.std.com: Lobster] One time Mulla went to a bathhouse. The attendant was slow with the towels, the food was cold, he was spoken to rudely; but Mulla showed no irritation. When the time came to leave he left a whole gold dinar, a huge tip, and the attendants were amazed at his generosity. The following week, Nasrudin received the royal treatment from smiling, fawning attendants. He smiled and enjoyed himself, and when it was time to leave, the attendants lined up, expecting that this time their guest would be even more generous. The Mullah gave each attendant a copper bit, the smallest of coins; when they expressed surprise that the previous tip was so large and this one so small, he told them that the big tip was for *this* time, and that the small tip was for *that* time. -- (emailed replies may be posted);join the AMT syncretism!!;call: 408/2-666-SLUG! see http://www.abyss.com/tokus; "Clement of Rome taught that God rules the world with a right and a left hand, the right being Christ, the left Satan." - CGJung
