Turkish Humor
From work today, to illustrate a point about invoicing:
One day, the Hodja borrowed a pan from his neighbor. After he had finished using it, he took it back to the neighbor with a small pan tucked inside.
When the man saw it, he was most surprised.
“What is that?” he asked.
“Well, said the Hodja, when I borrowed your pan it was pregnant and it brought a child into the world.” The man smiled and accepted them.
A few days later the Hodja borrowed the pan again but this time he did not return it. The man was rather cross. He went to the Hodja and asked “What about my pan?”
“I am very sorry,” said the Hodja, “but it died.”
“Don’t make jokes with me,” replied the man, “How can a pan die?”
“If you believe that it brought a child into the world,” said the Hodja, “why can’t you believe that it died?”
