Jewish Reasoning


A Jewish woman goes to see her Rabbi and asks, “Yankele and Yosele are both in love with me, who will be the lucky one?”  The wise old Rabbi answers, “Yankele will marry you. Yosele will be the lucky one."


If a married Jewish man is walking alone in a park and expresses an opinion without anybody hearing him, is he still wrong?

  1. Of course;here's how: Since God knows the man is always wrong, the opinion echo multiplier kicks in as follows: man utters opinion, to God's ears, man is quickly enveloped in a dark cloud of uncertainty and quilt, realizes the only way to clear the cloud is to repeat the opinion to the next unlucky person he encounters, man resolutely defends the opinion then apologizes, God smiles, opinion is repeated by initial victim with awe or derision... dark cloud reappears, you get the picture.
