Rabbi's advise: 'Cure lesbian with sorcery'
Weird even by crazy Orthodox standards.

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3298039,00.html
(This is an Israeli paper)


It sounds like the beginning of a really bad joke: "My wife has become a lesbian", a terrified husband told his rabbi. The rabbi gave him a sack and assured him: it contains special sand, simply pour it on your her lover's doorstep and when she steps on it she'll come running back.


If your partner shows lesbian tendencies and you want her to get rid of them, it's not a problem. All you have to do, according to a rabbi in Bnei Brak, is to pour "special sand" on her lover's doorstep and your wife will come running back.

Happy at the advice given by the rabbi the man returned home. He immediately rented a car and assigned the mission of pouring the sand on the lover's doorstep to his 18 year-old son. The son obeyed his father and set out on his way.

A few days ago, at around 3 am, the boy arrived at the lover's home in Kiriyat Malachi. He carried the sack of sand on his shoulders, climbed the stairs to the apartment, poured the sand on the doorstep and returned to his car.

On his way out, he noticed several of the lover's dresses hanging on the washing line and couldn't hold himself back. He took out a match set the dresses alight.

5. so, let me get this straight, so to speak . . .
This "special sand" makes lesbians start craving bananas.

I wonder what would make gay boys start craving tacos.

:shrug:

Maybe some "special dust bunnies"???
