The מגיד of Dubna saw a משכיל smoking on שבת.  He turned to him and said: “Perhaps you have forgotten that today is שבת?”  The משכיל responded:  “No, I like to tell the truth.  I know that today is שבת and I know that it’s אסור to smoke on שבת.”  The מגיד replied:  “What are you doing in the עולם השקר?  A lover of truth like you should be in the עולם האמת.”
