Nasruddin had just bought a new turban. As he was tying the turban, a gust of wind blew up and carried the turban away.
"Head," said Nasruddin, "I've really had enough of this already. Just who do you think you are? That's the third turban you've lost this week. And this was the best one of all, made of finest Indian muslin. What on earth am I going to do with you? I don't know if I should go get a new turban, or if I just need to go get a new head instead!"
Nasruddin's head did not reply.

Notes: This is story #52 in the book. I added the part about Nasruddin speculating on getting a new head. :-)
