Crashing the Party

Written story
Mulla and his wife were furious that their wealthy neighbor threw a huge party and didn't invite them. They hatched a scheme. Suddenly, Mulla's wife ran out of their house screaming, with Mulla chasing her down the street wielding a giant stick. Fleeing for her life, she ran straight into the wealthy neighbor's house in the middle of the party. Mulla barged in right behind her. The horrified guests intervened, grabbed Mulla, and sat him down. "Mulla, you are a respectable man! You shouldn't be beating your wife in the street like a madman!" To calm him down, the host brought out a massive tray of expensive cakes, pastries, and sweets. Mulla immediately dropped his stick and started stuffing his face. Between bites, he glared at his wife and muttered, "If I get my hands on you, I'll split you in half like this cake!" After he was completely full, Mulla wiped his mouth, turned to the host, and said, "By the way, you forgot to invite us to your party last week. My wife and I devised this little chase scene to get our fair share of the dessert. Now that I've had enough, I have absolutely no problem with her. Come on, honey, let's go home."
