A friend gave a bottle of cheap liquor to Mulla Nasrudin as a birthday present. Later he asked the Mulla how it was. “It was just exactly right,” said the Mulla. “What do you mean just right?” asked the friend.
“Well,” said Nasrudin, “If it had been any better you wouldn’t have given it to me, and if it had been any worse, I couldn’t have drunk it.”
