To be read in your best "hoarse, beard-muffled rabbi" voice
A Jewish couple are soon to be married, but the man's fiancée is far more Orthodox than he is. The wedding is to be held at her ultra-Orthodox synagogue. The man loves his wife-to-be dearly, so he gets up early the day before the wedding to meet with her rabbi and make sure he doesn't do anything wrong.
The rabbi is strict but fairly helpful, and most of the man's concerns about the wedding are quickly dealt with. There are, however, a few contentious issues.
"At the wedding, will I be able to eat with my wife?"
"No! At an Orthodox wedding, the men eat with the men, and the women eat with the women."
"Oh, that's a shame. Still, I'll look forward to our dance. Can I dance with my wife?"
"In the house of God? Never! At an Orthodox wedding, the men dance with the men, and the women dance with the women!"
"Good gracious! I'm starting to doubt I'll be able to do anything with my wife at all. What about the wedding night... ?"
The rabbi raises an eyebrow and leans back in his chair.
"You have... concerns?"
"I suppose. I mean, positions..."
The man blushes a little.
"I take it that the missionary position, man on top; That's fine, is it."
"Yes, of course."
"And if she's on top, that's okay?"
"Yes, that's fine."
"Okay... What about if I'm behind her?"
"Well, there's nothing in the scrolls against it. You'll be married, after all."
They both smile slightly.
"Yes, I suppose you're right. Heck, we might even do it standing up!"
The rabbi's smile collapses, he slams his hands on the desk, and shouts:
"Absolutely not! That could lead to dancing!"
