    It’s because the last minute is still only one minute long, no matter when the Zman is.

    Stumbled across this thread, looking for something else, and felt it needs a bump (some of the lines were very funny).

    Here’s a fresh one, courtesy of my son:

    Truisms, that only we know –

    # 1 – The cell phone that rings during shemona esrei, will ring again in 1 minute (because the caller is just as obnoxious as the person they are calling, and will call 5x in a row, if they don’t get thru on the 1st ring)

    # 2 – The person who’s phone rings (for the 2nd time) is SHOCKED that the phone keeps ringing. (Idiot, don’t you get it.. all your friends / family are just as obnoxious as you are, and will not stop calling you till they get thru to you. Duh.)

    Uniform skirts: (not my school, my friend’s school)

    If it’s even a cm. less than 3 inches below the knee, you’re too modern.

    If it’s even a cm. more than 3 inches below the knee, you’re nebby.

    Shidduch resume says 5 feet tall.

    That means:

    a) 4’9″

    b)4’11 1/2″

    c) 5’1″

    d) 5′ (in very few cases)

    My cousin actually is. It was very annoying for her, dealing with the skepticism that someone could actually be 5 feet exactly.

    Just to reiterate an earlier post about Friday afternoon: it is much easier to be on time for a 4pm winter Shabbos then to make early Shabbos at 7pm in the summer.

    No matter how much cholent you eat, there’s always room for dessert.

    Shelo asani goy: A goy cannot understand the simcha of coming to shul on a Monday or Thursday and finding out there’s no tachanun.

    The hungrier you are, the longer the Rabbi’s speech is.
