Number 6

A man's cock had turned black. His son asked, 'Why is it so black?' He said, 'From all the times I put it in your mother.' The next day he ran his hand over his beard and said, 'My beard has gone white.' His son replied, 'Then put that in my mother too, so it can go black.'
Explanation: This is a bawdy prose anecdote rather than verse, in the classic obscene-joke tradition; the humor turns on the son mocking the father's boast.

شمارهٔ ۶

وقتی شخصی را کیر پیدا شد، سیاه بود. پسرش پرسید که «چرا چنین سیاه است؟» گفت: «از بس که در کُس مادرت نهاده‌ام». روز دگر دست به ریش فرود آورد که: «ریشم سفید شده». پسرش گفت: «این را نیز در کُس مادرم نِه که سیاه شود».
