    Feivel-

    3) A mikva holding precisely forty se’ah of water, and a person who requires tevila. After the tevila, the person is tahor, but the mikva is no longer kosher, and won’t be until enough water is added to bring it back to forty se’ah.

    Moderator – I posted this earlier, but it may have gotten lost. Please don’t double-post this if you just haven’t posted what I sent about an hour ago.

    feivel,

    for number 3 I’d guess a woman receiving a get. The kosher get becomes posul (it can’t be reused by someone else), and the married woman who was assur to marry another man is now divorced and muttar.

    This is the true story of George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi, who was going to bed when his wife told him that he’d left the light on in the shed. George opened the door to go turn off the light but saw there were people in the shed in the process of stealing things.

    He immediately phoned the police, who asked “Is someone in your house?” and George said no and explained the situation. Then they explained that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be there when available.

    George said, “Okay,” hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again.

    “Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don’t have to worry about them now because I’ve just shot them all.”

    Then he hung up. Within five minutes three squad cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up. Of course, the police caught the burglars red-handed.

    One of the policemen said to George: “I thought you said that you’d shot them!”

    George said, “I thought you said there was nobody available!”

    No intent to be acidic, but if a user named jewishabortionist02 came by and sincerely and earnestly expressed his modern ideas and philosophies in a respectful manner, and was quite adamant about it, that abortion ought to be legal and unimpeded by any Rabbis through the 9th month, and comes not seeking to be convinced otherwise but to rather express his ideas as equal to the opposing view…

    What would the appropriate response be in your view?

    I am not so sure that this is true. It is probably more of an urban legend. cute story, maybe. true, probably not.

    …actually this is the wrong thread for such a serious discussion…

    I opened a new thread for this, and hopefully the moderator will be kind enough to post it soon (and we can discuss it there, rather than here.)

    That’s a good question.

    To avoid hijacking this thread, let’s continue this discussion in the “Respect for other posters comments” thread – I’ll reply there.

    the get isnt called a posul get after its been given. the woman saves it. if a shaila should arise regarding the divorce she would present it to Bais Din. they would examine it, question witnesses, determine if the get was kosher or pasul, its not pasul because it was given. just like a receipt for a payment isnt pasul, or a shtar used to purchase land isnt called a pasul shtar after its given

    the answer to 3:

    a woman goes into a Mikveh that has been measured and found to be exactly 40 seah before her tvilah, she becomes mutar to her husband and the Mikveh becomes pasul because of the water that is removed upon her as she exits the Mikveh. a Gemorrah states this din explicitly.

    A woman in a hot air balloon realizes she is lost. She

    lowers her altitude and spots a man fishing from a

    boat below.

    She shouts to him, ‘Excuse me, can you help me? I

    promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I

    don’t know where I am.’

    The man consults his portable GPS and replies, ‘You’re

    in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a

    ground elevation of 2346 feet above sea level. You are

    at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100

    degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.

    She rolls her eyes and says, ‘You must be a

    Republican!’

    ‘I am,’ replies the man. ‘How did you know?’

    ‘Well,’ answers the balloonist, ‘everything you tell

    me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to

    do with your information, and I’m still lost. Frankly,

    you’re not much help to me.’

    The man smiles and responds, ‘You must be a Democrat.’

    ‘I am,’ replies the balloonist. ‘How did you know?’

    ‘Well,’ says the man, ‘You don’t know where you are or

    where you’re going. You’ve risen to where you are, due

    to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise

    that you have no idea how to keep, and now you expect

    me to solve your problem. You’re in exactly the same

    position you were in before we met, but, somehow,

    now it’s my fault.

    A man gave his shvigger a tissue and said to her, “this should be the only thing you stick your nose into…”

    A shvigger gave her son-in-law three ties. He comes down wearing one of them. She says to him “so you don’t like the other ones eh?”

    Nice to see this thread getting back on track.

    While we’re on the subject of Yekke jokes….

    Adam Harishon was the first Yekke. We know this because Hashem called him “Ayekke”. Onkelus probably did not like Yekkes, because he translated this “Anut”.

    Subj: “Le-a”?

    How would you pronounce this child’s name: “Le-a”?

    Leah?? NO

    Lee – A?? NOPE

    Lay – a?? NO

    Lei?? Guess Again.

    It’s pronounced “Ledasha” Oh yes…you read it right.

    This child attends a school in Livingston Parish, LA. Her mother is irate because everyone is getting her name wrong. SO, if you see something come across your desk like this please remember to pronounce it correctly. When the mother was asked about the pronunciation of the name, she said “the dash isn’t silent.”

    Several women appeared in court, each accusing the others of

    causing the trouble they were having in the apartment

    building where they lived.

    The women were arguing noisily even in the court.

    The judge, banging his gavel to quiet them, said, “We are

    going to do this in an orderly manner. I can’t listen to all

    of you at once. I’ll hear the oldest first.”

    The case was dismissed for lack of testimony!

    Squeak, that’s actually pretty good 🙂

    An “Enlightened” man was walking down the street without a yarmulke. (Note: These were the times of the actual enlightenment and these people were real apikorsim, not tinokos shenishbos like today.) The Rebbe goes over to him and asks,

    “Tell me, are you a kohein or a Levi?”

    “Why would you think I’m a kohein or a Levi?” he asked, surprised.

    “Because you certainly don’t look like a Yisroel.” 🙂

    #1171692
