Nasruddin's neighbor was worried when he saw Nasruddin had a bandage on his head.
"What happened to you?" he asked, filled with concern.
"Oh, do you mean this bandage?" Nasruddin said calmly. "It's nothing, really, nothing at all."
"But I see some blood oozing through the bandage," the neighbor continued. "It looks serious!"
"Really, it's nothing!" insisted Nasruddin. "My wife accidentally hit me with some water."
The neighbor looked doubtful. "Why would you need to put a bandage on your head after getting hit with water?"
"Well," Nasruddin replied, "the water happened to be in a pitcher at the time."
