Once Nasruddin was called upon to preach a sermon. From the pulpit, he asked the congregation: "Do you know what I am going to preach about?"
"No!" they replied. "In that case," said Nasruddin, "it would take too long to explain." And he went home.
Next day he ascended the pulpit and asked the same question: "Do you know what I am going to preach about?"
"Yes," the people said this time, determined to put him on the spot. "In that case," said Nasruddin, "there is no need for me to say more." And he went home.
Yet again the following day he put the same question. "Do you know what I am going to preach about?"
But now the congregation was ready to corner him. "Some of us do and some of us don't," they answered. "In that case," said Nasruddin, "let those who know tell those who don't."
