Nasruddin Keeps His Clothes

Nasruddin had finally gotten married. After a while, though, his wife confronted her new husband about his smelly clothes.
"Husband," she said, "you never change your clothes, and they smell very bad. I need to wash your clothes! Please take off your clothes and give them to me."
"I'm afraid I can't," said Nasruddin.
"But you must!" replied his wife.
"Well," he said, "I once dreamed I went swimming. I took off my clothes, and while I was swimming someone stole them. The dream taught me to be cautious: no thief is ever going to steal my clothes!"
