conversation this morning:
me [in an e-mail to an unnamed party, with my gf cc'ed]: i don't want to discuss this anymore. i have a migraine that may very well develop into an ariel sharon level stroke.
gf: ha ha ha! that was some e-mail. but who is this ariel sharon?
now, i couldn't think of a clever response, because, well... EVERY LAST PERSON in the new york city area who isn't blind, deaf or mentally challenged who has turned on a computer or flipped on the television set in the last week knows who this guy is.
but if i did it would be this:
"dear, you know the miner in west virginia who survived the mine blast and who is now in a coma? well, ariel sharon is the other guy in a coma."
okay, i'm going straight to hell. 0=)

speaking of ignorance... keep hitting the enjewenating books. you don't believe in hell, o convert-in-training.
that's just generalised ignorance, not specifically koheny. koheny ignorance would be, say, if she married a divorcee. or a
convert.
*ahem*
now, back to the subject at hand: how can she not know who ariel sharon is? i mean, it's like not knowing who tony blair is.
and also, that rule applies to male kohanim. i believe the word is "harlot," (which encompasses converts).
clearly i wasn't trying for accuracy in this post, only humor. besides, i don't believe in hell, except cs50 and torts.
