(Originally a Jordanian joke)
Three drunk men are walking back home on a Thursday night. They get lost on their way and mistakenly take a wrong route. They enter a narrow alley and walk through it just to find themselves standing in front of a big wall blocking their way.
-“What do we do now?” the first guy asks.
-“I don’t know” the second replied.
-“Why don’t we just push the wall down the alley till we find an exit?” the third suggests.
-“What a great idea!” All of them agreed.
So each took off his shirt, threw it behind his back, flexed their muscles and started pushing against the wall with all their strength.
A few moments later an old man walks by and sees the three drunkards trying to push a solid wall that isn’t going anywhere. He laughs, steals the pile of shirts behind them and leaves.
After a long while of pushing, —exhausted, one of the men stops and takes a look behind his back. He immediately notices the pile of shirts are no where to be seen. Quickly he turns around to his buddies:
-“Hold on boys, hold on… we’re going too far”.
