I came across Ibn Jawzi's book about famous fools and I thought I had to share some of the incidents in it:

Once someone stole the door of Abu Salim's house. He in turn stole the door of the Masjid. "What are you doing?" the people asked. He replied "The owner of this door knows who stole my door"

Ibn Jawzi relates, that my friend informed me that a man married a woman who was very short in size. The people questioned, "What have you done?" So he repied "A woman is evil. the less the evil, the better."

The ration used is very silly, hence (fools and only fools)

Ali Bin Muaaz relates that I wrote a leter to Abu Mohammed. He replied to this address "This letter is to the one who wrote to me".

It is related from Ibn Jawzi that a man wanted to circumcise his child, so he told the barber "Please take it easy, he has not had this done before".
