Story of a shoe trader
A shoe trader from Venice, decides to sell shoes at a new bazaar in Africa and sends two assistants there to do market research.
The first one comes back and says that there is no market for shoes because all people there walk barefoot.
The second one comes back and says it’s the best possible market because no one there has shoes on.
Schoolteacher’s Zen
An anecdote told to me by a friend of mine some years ago. To me this is kind of the Serbian Zen.
The place is a village near Jagodina, the time is several decades ago. A few peasants are sitting in front of a shop drinking beer.
The local schoolteacher comes along and asks them: “Good afternoon. What are you doing here?”
The peasants find themselves embarrassed and wanting to outwit the teacher one of them replies: “We’re discussing who will win, Mao Zedong or Chiang Kai-shek?”
The teacher replies: “Oh! And why don’t you wash your faces first?”
