T0104. To the Right or the Left of the Coffin

Religious scholars are arguing about whether to walk to the left or the right of a coffin in funeral procession. Nasruddin says it doesn't matter so long as you're not inside.

Notes:

Here's my short version:

Religious scholars were arguing about whether you should stand to the right or to the left of the coffin in a funeral procession.
“Right!” some insisted.
“Left!” said others.
Then they asked Nasruddin what he thought.
“I don’t think it really matters,” said Nasruddin. “The main thing is just to not be IN the coffin.”
