Overheard in shul:

Guy 1: My son is putting on tefillin for the first time tomorrow 
Guy 2: Where? 
Guy 1: On his arm and head


Reminds me of the myseh they tell [or I tell] of the famous badchen R' Yankel Miller who was sitting shiva for his sister who had died of cancer. A certain Rav agreed to visit him on condition that he say no leitzanus.

The Rav comes and asks where the sister lived. Reb Yankel said "Monsey".

The Rav asked what she died of. Rav Yankel said "cancer".

The Rav then asked where the cancer was. Reb Yankel is like "Monsey".
