In ancient Greece, the philosopher Diogenes was known for his eccentric lifestyle and sharp wit. One day, he was wandering through the marketplace with a lamp in broad daylight. When someone asked him, “Diogenes, what are you doing with that lamp in the middle of the day?” he replied, “I’m looking for an honest man.”
The person chuckled, “And have you found one yet?”
Diogenes sighed and replied, “Not so far. But I did find a lot of people asking silly questions!”
Diogenes had a reputation for his humor and often poked fun at people’s foolishness, teaching lessons in his own humorous way. This story has been passed down for centuries as an example of his quick wit!
