Chief and prisoner

by
Chief and prisoner
Enlight

The warden, accompanied by guards, approached one prisoner and asked:

- Why were you imprisoned?

The prisoner himself did not know why he suffered, and answered:

– I don’t know, but, it seems, because my mustache grows unevenly.

Since then, the proverb has come about: “They offended me because my mustache was crooked.”
