Nasruddin is riding donkey fast; he falls off. People mock him. "I was going to get off anyway!" says Nasruddin.
Notes: Ozcelik has a version in verse (Turkish) where this happens when Nasruddin is not just riding fast, but trying to act like some kind of hero, showing off.
Here's my short version:
Nasruddin fell off his donkey right in the middle of the marketplace. Everyone gathered around and laughed at him.
“What are you laughing at?” Nasruddin asked angrily. “This is where I was going to get off anyway!”
