My other favourite is this:
Cigaal was given one of the fastest horses. His horse ran like maxaa kaa galay It left the pack, whereupon Cigaal shouted "war balaayadu amuu col iila galaa dhereyaa"" ( This shit might take me to the battle field)..

He jumped off the horse and ran home. The womenfolk asked him; what happened Cigaal? were you not suppose to fight?

He replied; it was a tough battle. Many were killed. Even my horse was killed. I had to revove a spear from his chest.

As he was speaking, the horse comes running: the ppl shout; isn't that Cigaal's horse?

Cigaal says without realising that ppl were listening to him:
"sharafta alla kaa qaad, muusugo intaan hadalka dhameenayo"

Cigaal Shidaad was a philosopher and comedian. He just came ahead of his time.
