ACT ONE, SCENE SEVEN HUNDRED AND SEVENTY TWO.
OP: Women are so prust! We must give them tochacha!
FrumGuy: Yes! If only we would throw bleach at them!
WorkingOutMyAngeAtBaisYakov: come on! It’s so much worse to call people bad names! And I heard from my random seminary teacher a irrelevant vort which means you have be nice to everyone!
YeshivishYUguy: Yes, and Halachically speaking there are many halachos! Please see all relevant sources and Ravs! I happen to personally know of psak given to an irrelevant situation in an irrelevant place! It may have even been the Rav himself!
FrumGuy: And burn tires!
TiredBaalBus: Yes! And you never know where people are coming from! And it’s the fault of the Roshey Yeshivas, anyway! And the kollel guys. And my mother-in-law. And her mother-in-law. Back to the first mother-in-law!
EuropeanBubby: It because of the schmutz we bring into our home! The radio! Gevalt!
WorkingOutMyAngerAtBaisYakov: And besides, you need to have self-control? Why are you looking at me? Just because I’m exposed in a public place is my own private public place business! You are so prust!
FrumGuy: TIRES! And Bleach! And bleached tires! Down with the evil prutsas! We need to throw them while blindfolded, of course.
KollelWife: We need to show everyone the real , true, beauty and essence of the baas yisrael!
AngryFrumLady: Don’t you start with the holy mother-in-laws! But it is the Roshey Yeshivas fault!
FrumGuy: You are all going mamish mamish to gehenenom! It says in mesechta chagiga 108b and in Shabbos 160a and in Bava Basra 207a that anyone who is not like me is mamish mamish not geshmak!
And Maran Rashkebehag Rabbi Falk Shlita brings down seventy hundred more mareh mekomos.
GEVALT!

……………..
Come on, it is the aseres yemey teshuvah. Can’t we all look inward? Just a little bit? Aren’t there any halachos we can discuss? Not just smash our personal haskafos against each other?
Is this really going to help anybody?
We’ve kind of done this a few times. Come now, each of us has where to look inward.
Certainly tochacha is only relevant when it has actual purpose coming from it?
PS: I do not refer to anyone specifically with my pseudo screen names. Merely the tired pattern that gets played, over and over again when anything comes to tzinius.
