Make-up

Nasreddin Hodja was the imam at the time and he was giving a sermon. The topic was make-up. The Hodja was advising the all-male congregation never to let their wives paint their faces.
`It is evil and wicked! It is impure and indecent!' he was lecturing, `My fellow men, don't allow your wives to put kohl on their eyebrows and crimson powder on their cheeks. It is sinful!'
`But Hodja Effendi,' the audience objected, `your own wife always paints her face.'
`True, true,' Nasreddin Hodja smiled, `it looks good on her, doesn't it?'
