Osho continues:
"'Oh,' moaned the third flea, 'I found myself in the beard of a hippie when he mounted his motorcycle back in the bitter cold and snow of Detroit, Michigan. He drove non-stop for two whole days to get here. I'm chilled to the bone!'

"'Next winter,' said one of the fleas, 'go to the penthouse of an expensive apartment building during a cocktail party. There you are bound to find someone wealthy who is going south for the winter, and you can go in style!'

"A year later the same fleas were sitting on the beach in Miami when the other flea approached them, still wearing a heavy overcoat and shivering violently.

"'What happened to you? Why didn't you take my advice?' asked the flea.

"'I did take your advice,' grumbled the freezing insect. 'I got to a penthouse and found a cocktail party going on. I located a beautiful lady, wearing furs and expensive jewelry. I knew she would be going south in high style, so I climbed onto her toe, up her ankle, up her calf, up her thigh, and then I came to a lovely warm spot, and I knew I would be going south in style.

"'The next thing I knew, I was inside the beard of a hippie who drove straight through non-stop in the bitter cold!'

"This reminds me of Almasto and her questions – she is back again to her questions.

"'Osho, why do they sell so many lightbulbs in Iran?'

"Because they always try to fit them in with a hammer. This is called the Islamic revolution!

"'How many Tibetans does it take to fit in a lightbulb?'

"None. They have not heard of lightbulbs yet in Tibet.

"'How many Chinese does it take to screw in a lightbulb?'

"None. You are not allowed to screw in China these days.

"'Why does it take a Russian so long to screw in a lightbulb?'

"Because first he has to have a five-year plan.

"'Why was the Polack Pope horrified when taking up his office in the Vatican for the first time?'

"Almasto, he saw a lightbulb lying in a wastepaper basket next to his desk and he was horrified – he thought it was a contraceptive."
