“Otherwise, the snakes hide.”
Sure, if they’re wimpy, cowardly snakes. I was referring to brave, proud snakes.

1. Your house will be free of rats.
2. You won’t be bothered by neighbors dropping in unexpectedly.
3. You’ll be able to say the Modeh Ani in the morning with real sincerity.DovidBTParticipantA couple of web sites that I find very useful are:
myzmanim DOT com
– A printable one-page PDF includes the zmanim for a full month, along with other useful info (festivals, weekly parashah, Daf Yomi).printablejewishcalendar DOT com
(I hope that I’m not breaking the rules by referencing these sites here.)
DovidBTParticipantPut an Alka-Seltzer tablet in your mouth and tell people you have rabies.

And people wonder why affordable health care is an issue. 🙂
DovidBTParticipant“Olam ha-Ba is quite safe. It’s the world of emes. This world is the world of sheker (fake world). Don’t lose sleep over it. In a wink of an eye you’ll realize its a bad dream and no more.”
Wouldn’t that apply to anything in “this world”? So there’s no point in expending effort to get a good-paying job, finding a pleasant place to live, etc.?
DovidBTParticipantAntarctica seems to be very safe. But finding a regular minyan would probably be challenging.

DovidBTParticipantCTLAWYER: You’re right. I guess I started drinking too early.
DovidBTParticipantHorsebread
Turnips
DovidBTParticipantTrue, but that’s hangover avoidance, not a hangover remedy. 🙂
A long walk before going to sleep works well too.
DovidBTParticipantA couple of shots of whiskey.
DovidBTParticipantIdea for new topic: Practical jokes involving “packing peanuts”.
DovidBTParticipantGreat point. Didn’t people formerly consider obesity a sign of financial success?
But don’t let the NSF hear that. They’ll spend $10M to do a study on it.
DovidBTParticipantAbsolutely. While saying that, you should cover the salmon with a towel, out of respect.
DovidBTParticipantConsider the reaction if a similar remark were made about a black employee. 😮
DovidBTParticipantIs there a reason why a tallis gadol can’t be designed like a tallis katan, with an opening that fits over your head? That would solve the “slipping off the shoulder” problem.
