The only thing I can say after reading the story about R’ Mattisyahu is if you ask a stupid question you deserve a stupid answer. I was present when a person asked one of the freierdige gedolai hador whether it is a bad thing to be called “zeide” by your grandchildren because we daven 3 times a day “v’hazeidim mihaira yikaraisu”. The Rov answered him with a straight face, demonstrating his gadlus and sensitivity, while I was doubled over in laughter, demonstrating why no one asks me stupid questions.
