Funny Story

Ibn al-Jawzi narrates another funny story:

ضرط ابو النجم في ليلة ضرطتين
فخاف أن تكون امرأته قد سمعته
فقال أسمعت شيئا
قالت لا ما سمعت منهما شيئا
فقال لعنك الله فمن أعلمك أنهما اثنتان

A man farted twice at night.

He wanted to make sure that his wife hadn’t heard anything.

He asked his wife: “Did you hear anything?”

She said: “No, NEITHER of THEM.”

He said: “May God curse you! Then who told you that there were two of them?!”

[“Akhbar al-Hamqa”, 1/168].
