Alcoholic beverages are allowed all year round, yet being drunk is frowned upon except yesterday.

Question #1: How do we know there was a shortage of bathrooms in Shushan?

Question #2: What was Mordechai's job, before his promotion?

And what about shmini atzeres/simchas torah?

I think I am starting to like your religion. I don’t have to work on Saturdays, don’t have to touch my wife for days each month and now I can get drunk more than once a year? What else are you guys holding back on?

Oh you know, minor stuff like not being able to eat at 99.99% of restaurants and spending all of our incomes on kosher food, private school education, tithing our incomes, buying 3 figure lemons and cardboard crackers for holidays...

Restaurants – That could be a deal breaker.
Kosher food – Not thrilled but OK.
Private school – Big plus.
Tithing – No problem.
Cardboard crackers – I need to drop a few pounds.

3 figure lemons – can you explain?

Those $20 per box crackers (matzos) are the only product with flour that you can eat for the 8 days of passover and trust me when I tell you that they clog up your entire system so you only gain weight

As for $200 lemons, try to watch this movie with a funny take on the whole thing: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0426155/
