Nasruddin had fallen off his roof and was badly injured. After the doctor left, Nasruddin's wife came in and sat by his bedside.
"My poor husband How do you feel?" she asked.
"The feeling is very hard to describe," he replied. "Do you really want to know how I am feeling?"
"Yes, I really want to know how you are feeling," she said. "Please tell me."
"I don't think I can put it into words." Nasruddin then thought for a moment. "But I suppose you could go jump off the roof yourself, and then you'd know exactly how I feel."
