The passuk says – ki shem Hashem ekra havu godel le’lokeinu – when I call in the name of Hashem, render greatness to our G-d
Alternatively, this passuk can be transalated – give a thumb to our G-d, but then the kashe is – why would you give a thumb to G-d?
The way the decision was made which cohen would get an avodah in the beis hamikdash was that the cohanim would stand in a circle and each raise a finger. The cohen in charge would stand in the centre and count round in a circle looking at the fingers to know which cohen he was up to. The cohen that he finished on got that avodah.
The mishna says in Yoma – ein motziin egodel bamikdash – The cohanim may not present a thumb to be counted becuase then they could also hold up their small finger and be counted twice and therefore have double the chance of getting the avodah.
This applies to a human in charge of allocating the avodah – however Hashem does not make mistakes therefore havu godel lelokeinu – you may present your thumb to Hashem when coming to daven shemone esrei which reminds us of the avodah.

“What are you doing?” I asked him.
“Making a puzzle,” He beamed. “A tiger!” He picked up the box and showed it to me.
“No, moshe,” I groaned. “Put the Frosties back in the box…”

I was amused watching him taking out twenty cans. I said to him:
“Can you get on with it?”
He turned to me with a smirk and said: “You’re just jealous – I won every time!!!”

July 30, 2012 2:03 am at 2:03 am #1202308Luna LovegoodParticipantA Florida senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out
of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he pushed it to 80 mph,
enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left.
“Amazing,” he thought as he flew down I-95, pushing the pedal even more.
Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a Florida State Trooper, blue
lights flashing and siren blaring. He floored it to 100 mph, then 110,
then 120. Suddenly he thought, “What am I doing? I’m too old for this!”
and pulled over to await the trooper’s arrival.
Pulling in behind him, the trooper got out of his vehicle and walked
up to the Corvette. He looked at his watch, then said, “Sir, my shift
ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a new reason
for speeding–a reason I’ve never before heard — I’ll let you go.”
The old gentleman paused then said: “Three years ago, my wife ran off
with a Florida State Trooper. I thought you were bringing her back.
“Have a good day, Sir,” replied the trooper.

Bubba replied, “Did y’all see who it was?”
The young man answered, “I couldn’t tell, but I got the license number.”

August 30, 2012 5:05 pm at 5:05 pm #1202322GetzelParticipantTrue story this week in Lakewood
A drug deal gone bad ended with one of the parties being robbed at gunpoint, police say. The incident occurred at about 11:45 PM in the parking lot of the Best Western Hotel on Route 70.
A man reportedly agreed to meet a drug dealer to purchase a product, and when he arrived, the dealer pulled a gun on his client instead and demanded his wallet and cell phone. He took the proceeds and fled, without handing over the drugs.
Police are investigating the incident. TLS-YYB/TLS-CCP.
What an idiot:
DRUG ADDICT: A man just robbed me in the parking lot on Rt 70.
POLICE: Please describe what happened.
DRUG ADDICT: I was trying to buy drugs, but he just took the money and never gave me the drugs.
POLICE: Oh. Stay right where you are. We are coming to arrest you.

December 3, 2012 10:04 pm at 10:04 pm #1202341ImanonovParticipantGet Prepared – Things are going to get ugly
This morning the Muslim Brotherhood warned the United States that if the United States continues meddling in Egypt, Libya , and other potential hot spots in the middle east, they intend to cut off America’s supply of 7-11 and Motel 6 managers.
If this action does not yield sufficient results, cab drivers will be next, followed by Dell, AT&T and AOL customer service reps.
Finally, if all else fails, they have threatened not to send us any more presidents.
It’s gonna get ugly!
