Whenever Nasruddin's wife wanted to do laundry it rained.
"We need to keep doing the laundry a secret," Nasruddin said. "Not even God can know!"
"But how is that possible?" said Nasruddin's wife.
"We just won't say anything; you give me the signal and I'll go to the store for soap."
A few days later, Nasruddin's wife gave him the signal, so he went to the store and bought soap. On the way home, it began to rain.
Nasruddin looked up at the sky and shouted, "Rain if you want, God! I didn't buy the soap for doing laundry anyway."
Inspired by: Nasreddin Hodja compiled by Alpay Kabacali.
