Nasrudin *smiling* I said, well, it wasn't so long ago I introduced myself to light waves via internet, disclaiming myself and saying I am like Nasrudin, who stated that as far as he knew there is at least 2 Nasrudins, one of whom could say the wisest of things, and well, the other you just never know what is coming out of that mouth.
