Rather shy as a youth, Nasrudin goes into a bar and sees a beautiful woman sitting at a stool. After an hour of gathering up his courage, he finally goes over to her and asks, tentatively: “Um, would you mind if I chatted with you for a while?“
She responds by yelling, at the top of her lungs, “No! I won’t sleep with you tonight!“
Everyone in the bar is now staring at them. Naturally, Nasrudin is hopelessly and completely embarrassed and he slinks back to his table.
After a few minutes, the woman walks over to Nasrudin and apologizes. She smiles at him and says, “I’m sorry if I embarrassed you. You see, I’m a graduate student in psychology, and I’m studying how people respond to embarrassing situations.“
To which Nasrudin responds, without blinking an eye and for all the world to hear: “What do you mean $200?!“
