An excellent example of men minding their own business - The great Khan and his wife were traveling in Arabia, returning from their pilgrimage. A local scoundrel approached the husband, and spoke, "O old and noble Pathan, from the great mountains, I see that your woman is worthy of being left behind in this great place of pilgrimage, and you can return to your lands, well and truly convinced that you have sacrificed someone whom you dearly want to give away to this land of pilgrimage. I will give you 100 camels for your woman."
After a long silence, the great Khan spoke, “She is not for sale.”
The indignant woman skulked and screamed at the great Khan, “What took you so long to answer?”
The great Khan replied, “Mind your own business, woman. I was trying to figure out how to get 100 camels back home.”
