Lets hear what you can come up with.
Yeranen Yakov’s (he has a blog) top 10 reasons for this guy wearing a bag on the plane:
10) “The in-flight movie was too non-Tzanu’a.”
9) “The guy 2 rows back forgot to shower.”
8) “I can concentrate on Tefilat Haderech better with this thing on.”
7) “I have a contageous disease and I sneeze a lot.”
6) “I feel safer sliding down the inflatable tube with it.”
5) “I heard I’m a descendant of Ben Bag Bag.”
4) “I’m anti-social, so my psychologist prescribed this as reverse psychology.”
3) “I might touch the flight attendant as she gives me my meal.”
2) “I’ve always dreamed of being an astronaut. This is as close to it as possible.”
1) “Help! The highjackers put me in here! Can someone get me out of this thing?!”

April 14, 2013 4:14 am at 4:14 am #956087VogueMemberHAHAHAHAHA!
April 14, 2013 4:50 am at 4:50 am #956088☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantWhat’s wrong with the truth?

We don’t know the truth so we may as well have some fun. Yes probably the reason is because he is a kohen. But it can also be because the guy sitting next to him has terrible BO.

I really enjoy good humor, no, I thrive on it, it keeps me going.
I would just humbly suggest that one not make light of the name of a Tanna found in the Mishna. It doesn’t measure to the Yeshiva World.
I’m sure it was done inadvertently.
==>> Please be mochel if I hurt your feelings.
April 14, 2013 5:48 am at 5:48 am #956091☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantIf someone next to me on a plane had a black box on his head, I wouldn’t conjecture that it may be some sort of communication device. I would figure that it’s tefillin.

I didn’t write the list its a copy and paste I happen to agree with you 100%. I will ask the mods if they can delete #5 even though it is kind of funny.
Mods can you delete #5 from the OP? Thanks!
April 14, 2013 11:23 am at 11:23 am #956093mobicoParticipantI met this guy’s boss, and he told me that the real reason was that he had just been sacked.
April 14, 2013 11:33 am at 11:33 am #956094The Kanoi Next DoorMemberI don’t think there’s anything wrong with #5, seeing as its not making fun of Ben Bag Bag in any way. However, I agree with DY’s questioning the appropriateness of making jokes about somebody keeping the Halacha (according to his Posek).
April 15, 2013 3:37 am at 3:37 am #956095simcha613ParticipantKanoi- is there a difference between “making jokes about somebody keeping the Halacha (according to his Posek)” and criticizing somebody about keeping the Halacha (according to his posek)? What about those who say Hallel on Yom Haatzmaus per their poseik or join the IDF as per their poseik? Which psakim may we poke fun at and criticize, and which are off limits?
April 15, 2013 11:18 am at 11:18 am #956096TheGoqParticipantI’m going with peanut allergy.
April 15, 2013 12:40 pm at 12:40 pm #956097The Kanoi Next DoorMembersimcha613, where did I make fun of those who say Hallel?
April 16, 2013 1:15 am at 1:15 am #956098VogueMemberTo annoy everyone else.
April 16, 2013 2:42 am at 2:42 am #956099WIYMemberIt was before Pesach. He did it so the children will ask.
May 30, 2013 1:50 am at 1:50 am #956100Ayayashreichem24Participanti thought it was cuz he was a Kohen…and they were flying over a graveyard or something
May 30, 2013 2:19 am at 2:19 am #956101Derech HaMelechMemberI thought it was because he was worried about shatnez in the seat.
May 30, 2013 2:36 am at 2:36 am #956102☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantDH, it’s been established that he’s a kohen.
May 30, 2013 4:03 am at 4:03 am #956103Derech HaMelechMemberOh, I thought we were still guessing. Why isn’t the enclosure of the plane enough?
May 30, 2013 4:14 am at 4:14 am #956104☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantOhel zaruk.
May 30, 2013 4:16 am at 4:16 am #956105Derech HaMelechMemberAnd why not the plastic bag?
May 30, 2013 4:37 am at 4:37 am #956106☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantIt’s matzil, similar to a tzamid passil.
May 31, 2013 2:37 pm at 2:37 pm #956107ihearMemberWow didn’t expect to see a thread like this here .. Did u by mistake start it here and meat to start it on the Jerusalem post ???
