After tripping on a rock while walking, Nasrudin angrily yelled out, “Son of a bitch!”
Unfortunately, a man who happened to be standing nearby thought the comment was directed towards him, and was so offended that he took Nasrudin to court, much to Nasrudin’s annoyance.
When the judge heard the case, he ruled that Nasrudin should pay the man five dollars. Nasrudin then handed the judge a ten dollar bill, and as the judge searched for change, Nasrudin asked, “So I take it the fine for cursing at someone is five dollars, right?”
“Right.” “OK then-keep the change you son of a bitch.”
