Ballot Box: Issue 949

The Freezer has opened and, as the chilled bochurim begin to thaw, there are a lot of surprises waiting for them. We asked for your input on scenarios they might want to avoid, and you came through. Now let’s get some shidduchim going!

Be careful with the humor. Never assume that the girl knows Journeys the way you do, and be extra cautious when you’re up against a female Sherlock Holmes. At all costs, avoid a scenario like this:

Girl: “Huh?”

You: “I’m saying, the song, you know?”

Girl: “No, what song?”

You: Oh, whatever. Basically, a Journeys song where he says ‘a sefer on the dashboard that will look real fine.’ So I was just shtelling tzu.”
