Having performed the mitzvah of attending a brit millah a week ago, the thought crossed my mind of what happens to those foreskins once removed.
Not embarrassed to question, I was told that they are buried. Rabbi xxx with his colourful sense of humour said that he has a Penis Cemetery in his back garden.
This led my warped sense of humour to think of epitaphs one may find on the tombstones of such a cemetery.
I did wonder though how the good Lord above would feel to receive some information about this and suddenly realised what “vun dein Moyle in G-d’s ayverin” could mean.
I wondered if when a Moyle decides to go into retirement he tells people he is starting to cut back! Perhaps he would be offering the next one in training a few tips! I guess it’s a business where there’s lots of room for growth, although it could be a pretty hard job!
I thought it may be a nice idea to erect a centre to hold such a simcha. Well Rabbi xxx as head of the Beth Din, this is really a snippet of what I could say. I know it’s not good to make such cutting remarks so I shall cease from continuing to do so. I have to hand it to you. Anyway I like to think of myself as somewhat deeper than these skin deep remarks. However it’s just a slice of life!
On a totally different note and somewhat to the other extreme, a gentleman whom I know well shared an incident that he had experienced. Being a very philanthropic chap he received copious calls for donations. Yet again he received a call but this time it was by Avbob, the funeral undertakers.
They asked him if he would consider taking out a funeral policy with them to ensure that his burial would be taken care of. He thanked them and explained that being of the Jewish faith he subscribes to the Chevrah Kadisha. To which they innocently replied: “well if you aren’t happy with their service, please come back to us!”
