Nasrudin is sitting in a café. One of his neighbors says,
“Hey, which is more practical - the Moon or the Sun?”
“The Moon, of course!” Nasrudin says without thinking.
“But why?” “When do you think we need light more -
in the daytime or at night?”

I cannot fault the logic even if the science is not exactly sound :)
Hmmmm... Bob-Kat is spot on.
ah, the mullah! (gorgeous pic)
The sun is definitely more important. Without her there wouls be no moon, for he is but a reflection of her glory.
bob-kat: I guess that's Nasrudin's speciality which is what also makes him funny.
wild iris: thanks for the visit!
lee: expect more, I'm having fun reading through his stories again.
eve: it's the first time I've heard the sun referred to as a "she" and the moon as a "he". That being said, Nasrudin generally enjoys going against preconceived notions.
