T0495. Burning the Beard

The imam says anyone with a beard longer than his fist is stupid. Nasruddin gets home and measures. He uses a candle to burn off the beard below his fist; his whole beard starts to burn. He puts out the fire, but his whole face is singed. Nasruddin says he is glad. "No more beard, face is burned, but at least I am not stupid any more!"
