Only My Half Is for Sale
One winter when Nasruddin shared a small house with his brother, he got the notion that he should sell his half of the property, so he called a real-estate agent to come over for an appraisal.
“How much is my half of this house worth?”
The agent replied, “Not so much. This is not a good season for this market. Why do you want to sell only half of the house, anyway?”
Nasruddin said, “Well, I decided I don’t like living with my brother, so I want to sell my half of the house.”
“Why don’t you just sell it to him, then, and move somewhere else?”
“No, you see, I don’t want to move. I want to sell my half of the house, and with that money I can buy his half, so then he’ll have to move somewhere else.”
