This concept abstracts the central literary device of Section 16. An ugly-faced man tells a physician that a boil has erupted in the ugliest of places, delicately implying his private parts. The physician looks sharply at the man and declares him a liar: the truly ugliest place is his face, and no boil is found there. The accompanying verse extends the jest to the norms of modesty — since religious decorum requires covering the shameful lower body, yet this man's face outstrips every other part in ugliness, the absurd conclusion is that he ought to veil his face and bare the rest instead. The device works by comic inversion: it relocates the body's 'ugliest' and most shame-worthy site from the conventionally concealed parts to the openly displayed face, turning an exaggerated defect into rhetorical wit. Recognizing this inversion places the anecdote within the Baharestan's cluster of hazl (comic hyperbole) on physical ugliness, alongside its sibling anecdotes of witty repartee.
