I once heard that briskers are makpid to eat on certain fast days which are only drabbunun because of the dorysah of u`shmartem es nafshoseichem.
Given that…
A newly married brisker comes home after shachris on asuhra b`teves and sees a bare dining room table. Turning to his wife, he asks, “where’s breakfast?”
“but its asuhra b`teves”, she replies in wonderment.
“I thought you knew that briskers are makpid to eat though”, he retorts.
“Ok. I didn’t realize”, she says. “why don’t you go into the living room and learn a little while I make breakfast?”
Twenty minutes later the Kallah calls in her husband for breakfast. Seeing the table set for two, he turns to his wife and asks “why is the table set for two?”
“What do you mean? I made us breakfast”, she answers.
the husband turns to his wife and asks, “But who said you’re frum enough to keep my chumrahs?”
