The Unsuspected Element

Two men were quarrelling outside 'Nasrudin’s window at mid-night. 'Nasrudin' got up, wrapped his only blanket around himself, and ran out to try to stop the noise.

When he tried to argue with the drunks, one snatched his blanket and both ran away.

‘What were they arguing about ?’ asked his wife when he went in.

‘It must have been the blanket. When they got that, the fight broke up.’
