No one knows this one? OK, here goes:

Yoiley (or Josh, depending on your area) spent his days and nights scouring the planet for each and every kula there was. Name a loophole, he knew it. He lived as close to being chazzer traif, mechalel shabbos, living life like a shagetz, as you can get without ever stepping over the line.

And so, his gluttonous life rolled along until one day, his oisgepashete soul ascended to heaven.

Once there, the bes din shel maaleh pulled his records and stared reviewing what he had done. For each charge, he was ready with a heter or yesh omrim (desenting opinions, opimion held by the minority, ect) to defend each and every deed. As his defense, he said, ” I know there are a majority of poskim that disagreed, but I had a heter or deieh (opinion) that ruled the other way, so I went with that opinion”

After an exhausting trial, the bes din went to deliberate. It took all of 2 minutes, and they came back with a verdict: You are going to Gehenom.

Whaat??? I had a heter for each and every move I made! How could you arrive at this conclusion?

Answered the rosh bes din, “Yeah, we know. And 99 of of said you should go to Gan Eden. But ONE deieh said to send you to Gehenom, so we went with that one.

See ya, Yoiley!
