The Way to the Cemetery
Mulla was tired of his creditors hounding him, so he decided to fake his own death. The town washed him, wrapped him in a shroud, put him in a coffin, and began carrying him to the graveyard.
However, the pallbearers took a wrong turn and got completely lost, arguing about which way the cemetery was.
Mulla, unable to stand their sheer incompetence any longer, sat straight up in the coffin, pointed a finger, and yelled, "The cemetery is that way!"
