(Interestingly the word sheitel and the word Satan have the same gematria….)
Also the word “snood”.
What’s the gematria of “toupee”?
The other day a fly landed on top of my co-worker’s coffee cup, so he took off the lid and threw it out. I told him that the same thing has probably happened a hundred times while he wasn’t looking.
Same as eating in any restaurant. You just have avoid thinking about it.
Hair is provocative – period.
That would explain all the looks I’ve been getting since I started wearing this toupee.
“When you eat cold protein, your body heats up.
When you eat ginger, your body heats up.”
Also guacamole
The fly. I had to use tweezers to get it out
I have a special folder on my desk that I use solely for killing flies.
Today I got one stuck in my keyboard.
What?
Just walk around the block twice
It’s not really deep. It’s a science question with a logical answer.
Why do we feel hot when it’s 90 degrees outside if our body temperature is higher than 90 degrees?
Challah Man!
Before you use any ATM, try to yank pieces off of it, and then try to pull the machine out of the wall.
After you do that, look all around and say “cheese”, because someone will probably be filming you so they can send it in to YWN.
Just avoid using ATM/debit cards as much as possible. With most credit cards it’s very easy and hassle-free to dispute fraudulent charges.
If you must use an ATM, use one inside a bank.
going to a pizza shop for a date is not recommended because “it makes you look cheap & you don’t have money to go to a meat meat restaurant” not all meat restaurants are expensive.
Wouldn’t it make you look cheap to go to an inexpensive meat restaurant also?
And what if you actually don’t have money to go to a meat restaurant? You’re supposed to pretend you have money anyway? Sounds like geneivas da’as to me.
How is going for pizza different than going to a restaurant? (Other than one being milichigs and the other fleishigs.)
I once went to a restaurant that was milchigs
Most rabbanim in america do not hold this as a psak.
Most rabbanim in America don’t hold of most things that Joseph posts.
The price of Cholov Yisroel milk is significantly higher in Queens than it is in Brooklyn.
Maybe because of the eruv.
Ouch. That would mean hitting my head against my ceiling pretty hard.
Check the weather forecast before you go to sleep. If they predict an earthquake, sleep on the roof.
But where would you land?
They have a private person’s name come up
1) What Joseph said
2) Who cares what number shows up? If it’s not a number that you recognize, what difference does it make whether it’s their number or someone else’s number? Unless you’re saying that they find people that you know and use their numbers, but I doubt they do that.
Solar powered flashlight?
You know I would’ve gone 50/50 with you, but you had to go and ruin it for both of us. Thanks
I just thought of a great invention.
I’m not gonna say it here because I don’t want someone to steal it, but you’ll have to trust me that it’s awesome.
I don’t see how masking their number is g’neivas da’as.
If you see that a number is blocked, why would you make any assumptions about who is calling (other than assuming it’s not someone that you know)?
You know once upon a time there was no such thing as caller ID.
I usually just put out a bowl with a sign that says “Take one.”
I don’t even put anything in the bowl.
People trick or treating want candy, not an arrest record
Unfortunately there are some people who don’t know how to use their brains properly.
All it takes is for one such person to do something stupid.
What if the coins were used for avodah zara?
I should clarify, I have no problem with steak being chewy. Steak is supposed to be at least a little chewy. My point is that the chewiness of steak makes it a bad candidate for sandwiches. When you take a bite of a sandwich, you should be able to bite through the entire thickness of the sandwich with one even bite. You shouldn’t have to bite harder to get through the filling than you would to get through the bread.
I’ve never really understood steak sandwiches. Steak is generally too chewy for a sandwich.
Maybe I’ve just never had a good one.
iacisrmma, what was the point of posting that you have nothing to say?
My thoughts exactly. I also had nothing to say, yet I didn’t feel the need to post about it.
How is it gneivas da’as?
Wait, so they send you money in the mail, while asking you to donate money to them?
Someone should teach them a thing or two about fundraising.
Meno a nice way of saying drugs
So why don’t they use words that people understand? That would be a good start in addressing the problem.
What are opioids?
I have a fidget spinner
Are there any lawyers in the Coffee Room?
Destroying US currency is a crime.
It’s not clear whether that applies to coins if it isn’t done fraudulently:
§331. Mutilation, diminution, and falsification of coins
Whoever fraudulently alters, defaces, mutilates, impairs, diminishes, falsifies, scales, or lightens any of the coins coined at the mints of the United States, or any foreign coins which are by law made current or are in actual use or circulation as money within the United States; or
Whoever fraudulently possesses, passes, utters, publishes, or sells, or attempts to pass, utter, publish, or sell, or brings into the United States, any such coin, knowing the same to be altered, defaced, mutilated, impaired, diminished, falsified, scaled, or lightened—
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.§333. Mutilation of national bank obligations
Whoever mutilates, cuts, defaces, disfigures, or perforates, or unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking association, or Federal Reserve bank, or the Federal Reserve System, with intent to render such bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt unfit to be reissued, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.I once heated up a penny with a blowtorch and the inside melted and just dripped out onto the floor.
Why is it called 1% milk if it’s actually 99% milk?
The way I see it, there are two types of people who talk in shul:
1) There are the people who will talk in shul no matter what. They don’t take davening seriously, they aren’t really interested in davening, they come to shul because of social pressure or some other reason. The issues brought up by the OP have nothing to do with this type of person – they will keep talking no matter what.
2) There are people who generally don’t talk in shul, and take davening seriously, and come to shul in order to daven. However, when certain parts of the “davening” (e.g. mi shebeirachs) are dragged out, these people feel that they are basically expected to sit there and do nothing, and therefore they turn to talking during those times (Of course they can do other productive things like learn during those times, but I think most people prefer to daven during davening and learn during their learning seder). For this type of person, cutting down on the “shlepping” very well may reduce the talking.
A classic Shmuz or Chadian classes is when a classic teacher or rabbi teaches a backup who is engaged about obtain relating to marriage.
I thought I knew what a chosson shmooze was. Now I’m not so sure.
Joseph,
He explained quite clearly the problems with a dragged out davening. It has nothing to do with being in a rush.
Back in the 1950s and early 60s each house had a concrete liner in the ground with a removable waste pail for food garbage (it had a step on lid to open).
We had these growing up and I never knew what they were for (was a bit later than the 60s). We would just hide stuff in there.
A good chosson shmooze is one that prevents divorces.
Make sure you get a good chosson shmooze
Kinda like a Prince Rupert’s Drop
