Okay Eli,

It's a deal!! Thanks again and A Freilichin Purim!

How about:
If you qualify for the group rate when you visit an amusement park with all of your kids, you just might be Yeshivish.
If you must have 48 inch beds (which can not be purchased in a goyish store), you might be yeshivish
If you show up at WIC for basic food benefits with a sparkling diamond bracelet dangling from your wrist, accompanied by a multi-diamond ring, you might be yeshivish
If you show up at St Peters Hospital in the transition stage of labor in your multi-directional sheitel accompanied by your black hat "boyfriend" because you got better health insurance benefits by not being legally married, you just might be yeshivish
Anon:
I don't get your first one; if you mean twin beds those are available anywhere.
The middle one is like the one about food stamps in the main article, but nastier.
The last one is a bit too nasty for my tastes. Is it really accurate? I've never heard of this one.
Too nasty for my taste too. As a rule, if you are too chicken to sign it, it's probably more nasty than funny

Loved this post, Elie.
Do people really enclose cooking assignments with their Bar Mitzvah invitations?
