Nasruddin had finally gotten married; his wife was named Suzan. She was not his first choice, but she would make a good enough wife.
Going home after the wedding, he ran into Jamilah, and he realized that she was the woman he really wanted as his wife.
So, he took the marriage certificate and went to see about getting the name changed.
"There's been a mistake," he explained. "Here where you wrote Suzan, just write Jamilah instead."
"You'll need a new certificate, which will cost you two dinars."
Nasruddin pondered. "Well, I guess there's not that much difference between them."
