A man dragged Mulla to court, telling the judge, "This man has owed me 500 dollars for months! Please order him to pay me immediately!" Mulla shrugged. "Your Honor, I intend to pay him.

He doesn't even have food in his pantry!" Mulla threw his hands up. "Your Honor, if he knows I'm that broke, why on earth does he expect me to pay him immediately?!"
