The Religious Loophole
A preacher claimed, "Whoever fasts for one day during the holy month of Rajab will be credited with six months of fasting in the eyes of God!"
Months later, during Ramadan, Mulla was caught eating lunch in broad daylight. The preacher scolded him, "Why aren't you fasting?"
Mulla replied, "I followed your advice! I fasted for one day in Rajab. By your math, I have enough credit to skip this Ramadan and the next five after it!"
