Bachelors and Married Men

Nasruddin and his friends were arguing, as usual, in the coffeehouse.
They argued about politics, but eventually they got bored with that.
Then they argued about religion, but they got bored with that even more quickly.
Then they started boasting about this and that, but they had heard everyone's boasts before, so they became bored with that too.
Finally, they started arguing about their wives. Whose wife was best. Whose wife was worst. And so on and so on.
Finally someone asked, "Which is worse: to get married, or to remain a bachelor?"
"Both are worse!" Nasruddin shouted.
