    The Mongol warrior wants the peasant to hold his balls so that they don’t get dusty, and the peasant lets the balls get dusty anyway. The joke is the utter conformism of the peasant, willing to celebrate for a ridiculously small victory after the tragedy of his wife getting raped, when a real victory would have been cutting the warrior’s balls.

      Oh! It means literrally dusty on the outside? I thought it was a metaphor for “barren”, but was not really sure how he had caused that, or how he could tell, or how it was such a great thing.
