Selling Tripe
Mulla bought some sheep heads and hooves to sell as a street vendor. But instead of yelling about his meat, he walked through the streets shouting, "Fresh eggplants! Sweet pumpkins! Get your pumpkins here!"
A crowd gathered, and someone asked, "You're selling meat, why are you advertising vegetables?"
Mulla put a finger to his lips, pointed up at the roof where a stray cat was prowling, and whispered, "Are you crazy? If that cat hears I have meat, he'll swoop down and eat my entire inventory!"
