Mulla’s Two Wives
Mulla had two wives, and one day they cornered him. "Which one of us do you love more?" they demanded.
Mulla tried to play it safe, insisting he loved them both equally, but they weren't buying it. Finally, the younger wife asked, "If we were both in a boat, and the boat flipped over in the river, which one of us would you save?"
Trapped, Mulla looked at his older wife and said, "You know how to swim a little bit, don't you?"
