The Glutton’s Excuse
Mulla’s father gave him some money and told him to buy a roasted sheep's head for lunch. On the walk home, the smell was too much for Mulla, and he ended up eating all the meat off the skull. He handed the bare bones to his father.
His father asked, "Where is the meat?!"
"It was deaf," Mulla said.
"Where is the tongue?"
"It was mute."
"Where are the eyes?"
"It was blind."
"Where is the skin?!"
"It was completely bald!" Mulla said. "But look on the bright side, the poor thing had incredibly strong teeth!"
