A man accosted Nasruddin on the road.
"O Holy Man," the man said to Nasruddin, "please tell me the way to get to town."
Nasruddin stared at the man, who was a complete stranger to him. "How exactly did you know I was a holy man?" he asked.
"I am a mind-reader!" said the stranger, as he gave Nasruddin a strange look, staring right at him.
Nasruddin stared right back at the stranger and said, "Well, if you are a mind-reader, I'm thinking about the way to town right now. Read my mind, and you'll find the directions there!"
