This guy was watching TV as his wife was out cutting the grass during the hot summer. He finally worked up the energy to go out and ask his wife what was for supper.
Well, his wife was quite irritated about him sitting in the air conditioned house all day while she did all the work, so she scolded him. “I can’t believe you’re asking me about supper right now! Imagine I’m out of town, go inside and figure dinner out yourself.”
So, he went back in the house and fixed himself a big steak with potatoes, garlic bread and a tall glass of iced tea.
His wife finally walked in about the time he was finishing up and asked him, “You fixed something to eat? So, where’s mine?”
“Huh? I thought you were out of town.”
Services will be held at 10:00 AM tomorrow.

A Doctor was addressing a large audience:

"The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here, years ago. Red meat is awful. Soft drinks corrode your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. High fat diets can be disastrous, and none of us realizes the long-term harm caused by the germs in our drinking water.

But there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all and we all have, or will, eat it. Can anyone here tell me what food it is that causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?"

After several seconds of quiet, a 75-year-old man in the front row raised his hand, and softly said, "Wedding Cake."

I have been in many places, but I've never been in Cahoots. Apparently, you can't go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone.
I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there. I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there. I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends, family and work. I live close so it's a short drive
I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I'm not too much on physical activity anymore.
I have also been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there too often.
I've been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm.
Sometimes I'm in Capable, and I go there more often as I'm getting older.
One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense! It really gets the adrenalin flowing and pumps up the old heart! At my age I need all the stimuli I can get!
And, sometimes I think I am in Vincible but life shows me I am not.
People keep telling me I'm in Denial but I'm positive I've never been there before!

Exhausted after driving all night, a man decided to stop and have a small nap. He had just fallen asleep when there was a knock on his window. 'Do you have the time please' asked a passer by. 'Its 8.10' he said. He dozed again but was woken up with another rap on the window. 'Excuse me what time is it' asked a cyclist. '8.15' he replied. To avoid being disturbed again, he put a notice in the window saying I DONT KNOW WHAT THE TIME IS and settled back down to rest. Just as he was drifting off, there was yet another knocking on his car. Scowling he opened his eyes. 'What do you want?' he shouted at the elderly lady standing there. 'I just want to tell you that it is 8.35' she said!

I think I know where it is. I once heard from R' Amnon Yitzchak that when a dirty person arrives oif yener velt (i.e. when the light goes out) one's clothes are removed and he is put into some sort of a washing machine. They add detergent, ammonia, bleach and hot water and put him through the spin cycle until he's cleansed.

(That may not sound so funny, but when he describes it, it's hilarious. As R' Yaakov Galinsky z"l used to say: Ah bittereh gelechter.)

On second thought, let's stop while we're ahead. As the Mesilas Yeshorim points out (sorry Dov - works for me - sometimes), some people speak nivul peh and say it's only a joke, but it's nivul peh nevertheless.

Excuse me MT, chaver, but Mesilas Yeshorim helps me too, as do the other things you know I learn be"H (which you have asked me not to post about, as you recall). If it seems like a stirah, then I would just say it isn't.

But on a sweeter note, my strukkes are itching me.

Hope that wasn't to treibbering for you.

(Ouch!)

A gid hanasheh joke oichet! Aye! Mesechta Pesochim strikes again!







"Off the 18-wheeler and fine on this tricycle!", "I do not particularly care exactly which "lav" suicide is. I'm not interested in it for other reasons...and you are probably the same."

Re: The Depressed Person's Chill Spot :) 02 Apr 2014 02:08 #229673

You're OK Dov. But gid hanasheh can be just as triggering. Check out the Ibn Ezra (Genesis 32:33)- he says that some 'chaseirei daas' translate it to mean the 'organ' (not the musical one), and they translate hanasheh to be from the shoresh of nashim.

I guess there were weirdos in all generations.

Re: The Depressed Person's Chill Spot :) 02 Apr 2014 02:16 #229675

i think some people should be careful that this doesnt get moved to the beis medrash forum
i used to look back all the time saying "oh no! what have i done! Hashem help me erase the past." and i never heard a response.
finally i started looking forward saying "Hashem i'm leaving the past to you and i'm forgetting all about it. help me have a good future. help me from here and on be the person You want me to be." and that's where i realized Hashem had been waiting to help me all along

UNOFFICIAL STATEMENT BY GUARD: "GYE HAS BECOME TOO DEPRESSING ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS THE THREE WEEKS." SO GUARD HAS UNOFFICIALLY ADVISED THAT THIS THREAD "MUST BE REBOOTED ASAP"....OPERATION GYE HAPPY!

YU Rowing Team

Yeshiva University decided to put together a rowing team. Unfortunately, they lost race after race. They practised for hours every day, but never managed to come in any better than dead last. The Rosh Yeshiva finally decided he couldn`t stand any more embarrassment so he sent Yankel (Pidaini?) to spy on other rowing teams. He went to the top rowing teams: Harvard, Princeton, Oxford and MIT to see what YU was doing wrong.

Yankel finally returned to the Yeshiva.
"I have figured out their secret," he announced.
"They have eight guys rowing and only one guy shouting."
I am happy to speak on the phone. Please email me at dms1234ongye@gmail.com

The anonymity here reminded me of this one:
One shabbos,the rabbi was feeling rebellious. He decided to call in sick to shul so he could go play a round of golf instead.
On his first shot, he hit a hole in one.
The malachim were incredulous. "Aibeshter!" they cried. "How can you reward his evil ways like that?"
He simply replied: "Reward? Who's he gonna tell?"
