Take Care of My Wife
At a dinner party, the host served a massive dish of cooked fava beans. Mulla had already eaten a huge dinner, but he started devouring the beans at lightning speed.
The guy sitting next to him warned, "Mulla, slow down! Eating that many fava beans can literally kill you."
Mulla paused with a spoonful halfway to his mouth. "If I die, promise me you'll look after my wife." Then, he shoved the spoon in his mouth and kept eating.
