The camel merchant

[2chairs]

Ibn Muhammed, a respectable and dignified Arabian merchant, was attending a camel auction in the main square when he was overcome by the most terrible intestinal cramps.

Finally, unable to contain himself, he let out a giant fart, which was so noisy and so pungent that the people around him looked aghast and then backed away to the edges of the square.

Overcome with shame, Ibn Muhammed went straight home, packed and turned his back on his birthplace. For many years he led a nomadic life, wandering from country to country, but as old age approached, so did the longing to return to his hometown. By this time he was aged and stooped, his hair and beard long and gray, and his confidence grew that no one would recognize him and link him to that mortifying moment.

So he returned to the town and headed straight for the main square, where he immediately noticed that the mosque now boasted a spectacular turquoise and gold-leaf mural. Turning to a passerby, he commented on the magnificent mural. "Peace to you, my son. Can you tell me when the mural was completed?"

"Let me think," replied the man. "Yes, that would be twenty-seven years, five months, and twenty-two days after Ibn Muhammed cut that massive fart in the square."
