Two old men sitting on the platform of a closed shop were laughing hysterically while talking to each other, when a curious passerby asked them the reason for being so happy.

One of the old men, barely controlling his laughter, said: "We have a wonderful plan to solve the problems of this country. And the plan is to put the entire nation in jail... and along with all of them, a donkey should also be put in jail."

The passerby looked at both of them in astonishment and asked: "Why should a donkey be imprisoned along with everyone else?"

Both the old men looked at each other while bursting into a thunderous laugh, and one old man said to the other: "See, Rahima? Now do you believe me? Didn't I tell you that, by God, no one would even bother to ask about this nation (everyone would only worry about the donkey)!"
