    A cell phone has a plan!

    (IOW: You girls don’t have plans either. After all, you marry us. You just think you have a right to complain about it. Well, see where that gets you.)

    I heard a different girsa:

    What’s the difference between a yeshiva bachur and a cell phone?

    They both have free unlimited nights and weekends, but the yeshiva bachur doesn’t have a plan!

    someone once told me that a young man went to pick up a girl on a shidduch date. came to the house and sat down with the father while the girl was getting ready. the father asked “so, what is your plan?” so the bochur answered “if you want a plan, get a cell phone.”

    similarities:

    They both have plans, have charge, are plugged in, and enjoy the spoken word.

    And have accrued bills…

    What does seminary have in common with cell phones which don’t have a plan?

    They’re both prepaid.

    All a girl does is talk, all a cell does is listen.

    RE: imaofthree’s story…

    Do people find that story funny or charming? Does anyone seriously give that boy “points” for being so witty?

    That is so chutzpahdik. Wow. I hope the father didn’t waste his daughter’s time and sent that boy packing…

    How do you expect a boy to have a plan for marriage?

    All he is told is that the only honorable thing for him to do is to sit and learn in Kollel, knowing that his wife will have gone to a higher education school to be prepared for a parnassa.

    She will be the breadwinner, the baby carrier, a busy Mother

    and everything else. knowing this, Why would any bachur be motivated to have a plan. The system is messed. There has to be a better way. Once upon a time it was honorable to be a professional or just a good job and still set aside time to learn and be involved with Ruchnius things. Many pious Jews and Rabbonim as well were working for their families whilst still dedicated to learning with a shiur in the morning and then again at night. If there are no “Zevulans” in our midst..who will help support all the Torah institutions?

    coffee, good notice. I do have my old subtitle back. But it’s missing the “occasionally WAY over the top” part.

    You are all missing the point of this thread. I know the joke is about boys, that they don’t have a plan. I am saying that the girls who are marrying them also don’t have a plan. And it doesn’t matter that they know they will be a speech therapist- their plan should be what their husband will do, they are willing to marry a guy with no plan, which is the same as the guy having no plan.

    popa…. wasn’t it that a cell has an off button.

    or one fills your pocket while the other empties it.

    or when you leave a cell phone in the restaurant its a reason to panic. 😉

    Thanks for the applause, I’ll be here all week!

    plaid: While there are SOME exceptions to the rule, most sems don’t allow affianced girls to attend.

    am yisrael chai: Eh, rings aren’t a given.

    “am yisrael chai: Eh, rings aren’t a given.”

    Perhaps not nose rings or toe rings, but you can believe they own earrings/finger rings…

    There they go again. Queen Bee, I don’t know much about you, and I am sure you either are or will be an excellent mother.

    But, you will never be MY mother.
