The twelfth imam

Twelve imams were about to be ordained. The final test was for them to line up, nude, in a garden while a nude model danced before them. Each imam had a small bell attached to his privates, and they were told that anyone whose bell rang would not be ordained because he had not reached a state of islamic spiritual purity.


The model danced before the first imam candidate, with no reaction. She proceeded down the line with the same response until she got to the final imam. As she danced, his bell rang so loudly it fell off and clattered to the ground. Embarrassed, he bent down to pick up the bell, and eleven other bells began to ring......
