Purim Humor - Part One

I think I have a solution for the 'segregated' buses demand, where men and women are separated, men in front and women in back.

The men will simply sit on the laps of the women.

You can't have it the other way due to the yeitzer hara, the evil inclination.

And with the degree of pain this position causes the women, it still fulfills the instruction of Genesis 3:16


I will greatly multiply thy pain and thy travail;


And as our Rabbis of Great Wisdom have noted:


Rav Yisrael Yitzhak said: do not read 'travail' but 'travel'.

Another way to solve the problem:

'Indecent exposure': Fury of mother, 25, thrown off bus and forced to get taxi for breastfeeding

By Luke Salkeld 25th February 2010

A mother was accused of indecent exposure and thrown off a bus after breastfeeding her six-week-old baby.

Amy Wootten, 25, was travelling home when the driver stopped the bus and told her to stop feeding her daughter Emily.

When she objected, he threatened to call the police. He said another passenger had made a complaint about her behaviour and then ordered her out on to the pavement in the rain.

Imagine if women on Jerusalem segregated buses started doing that.
