Local Customs

Nasruddin was visiting a new town for the first time and went to pray in the local mosque. As he was bent down in prayer, he felt someone tugging at his robe from behind.
"That's strange," Nasruddin thought to himself. Then he felt the man tug his robe again. Nasruddin decided that this must be the custom in this mosque, so he reached out and tugged the robe of the man in front of him.
"Hey!" said the man. "Just what do you think you're doing?"
"I have no idea," said Nasruddin. "You'll have to ask that man behind me."
