136. Nasruddin and the Baklava

Nasruddin was a holy man’s disciple.

Another disciple brought their master a plate of baklava, and he didn’t want Nasruddin to eat any.

“This is from our master’s enemies,” he told Nasruddin. “I suspect it’s poisoned, so don’t touch it!”

The disciple left, and Nasruddin couldn’t resist. He grabbed the baklava, but he dropped the plate. Crash!

The other disciple rushed in to see what had happened and found Nasruddin down on all fours, eating baklava.

“I dropped the plate!” Nasruddin confessed. “In my shame, I wanted to die, so I’m eating as much of the poison as I can.”

The trip to Benson went well and Erik behaved great at the vet. Nothing else going on this last week here other than get the month end cleaning done and prepare to leave.
