Gosa, the village idiot This is a joke my Egyptian friend told me a couple years back Gosa, the village idiot, is walking along the banks of the Nile when Abdullah sees him and calls across from the other side 'Gosa, the Nile is wide and mighty, and the nearest crossing is miles away, how did you get to the other side?' Gosa, with a smile on his face, replies 'But my dear friend Abdullah, you ARE on the other side!'
