I see what you mean.

Something slightly related and may give another perspective on this:

A while ago I was reading a kovets on preparations for marriage and the author had some sound advice on buying the kidushin ring.
1) The ring you are mekadesh with has to be bought with the Chosson's own money, not borrowed or bought for him, or there can be a question on the whole Kidushin.
2) Don't buy it on a credit card since it may technically not belong to you until you pay the bill.
3) If you did buy it on a CC, pay the bill right away.

The guy that wrote this is not a Rav AFAIK but it certainly makes sense.
Borrowing money is not a problem. US checks may also be a problem

How could this be worse then "matana al mnas l'hachzer"?
By matana al mnas lhachzir, both sides know this, and therefore at the time of the mitzva it is yours because the original owner makes it yours even though he knows thAT it's not going to be so in some time. However here this a case of what the buyer thinks which is NOT in accord with the thoughts of the seller, the validity of the sale is in question, and if the sale isn't valid the esrog is definitely not the property of the buyer, hence esrog hagozel/hashaul.

Yankel Zuchmir built his Sukkah in the courtyard of his apt. building. The gentile tenants put up a fight that it makes the building look ugly and he had no permission to do it. Yankel found himself sitting in front of the judge during Chol Hamoed defending himself. After he finished the Judge gave his ruling: Yankel must get permission before he builds a Sukkah, and must dismantle his current Sukkah promptly - no later then ten days from now! Yankel walked out a happy man  :).

Bill, Jim and Scott were at a convention together sharing a large suite at the top of a 75-story hotel. After a long day of meetings, they were shocked to hear that the elevators in their hotel were broken, and they would have to climb 75 flights of stairs to get to their room.

Bill said to Jim and Scott, "Let's break the monotony of this unpleasant task by concentrating on something interesting. I'll tell jokes for 25 flights, Jim can sing songs for the next 25 flights and Scott will tell sad stories for the rest of the way."

At the 26th floor, Bill stopped telling jokes and Jim began to sing. At the 51st floor, Jim stopped singing and Scott began to tell sad stories.
"I will tell my saddest story first," he said. "I left the room key in the car."

infrastructure .

Reminds me of an email i got a while ago.....
 
Illegal Immigrants Poem

I cross ocean, poor and broke.
Take bus, see employment folk.
 
Nice man treat me good in there.
Say I need to see welfare.

Welfare say, 'You come no more, we send cash right to your door.'
 
Welfare cheques - they make you wealthy! NHS - it keep you healthy!

By and by, I get plenty money.
Thanks to you, you British dummy!
 
Write to friends in motherland.
Tell them 'come fast as you can.'
   
They come in turbans and Ford trucks,
And buy big house with welfare bucks!
   
They come here, we live together.
More welfare cheques, it gets better!
           
Fourteen families, they moving in,
but neighbour's patience wearing thin.
Finally, British guy moves away.
Now I buy his house,then I say,
     
'Find more immigrants for house to rent.'
And in the yard I put a tent.

Everything is very good,
and soon we own the neighbourhood.
         
We have hobby, it's called breeding. Welfare pay for baby feeding.
Kids need dentist? Wives need pills? We get free! We got no bills!
British crazy! They work all year, to keep the welfare running here.
We think UK darn good place.
Too darn good for British race!
If they no like us, they can scram. Got lots of room in Afghanistan !
 

PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERY BRITISH TAXPAYER YOU KNOW

MOISHE  ....

 
For 30 years every day old Moishe ate at "Abe's Kosher Delicatessen". Old Moishe was an honoured guest and had his own reserved stool at the counter. He was loved by everyone and was generous to all the servers and staff. Abe, the owner loved Moishe too. One day Moishe didn't show at his regular time. Abe was worried a bit as he realized Old Moishe was a widower and lived alone but then got busy and forgot about  Moishe's  absence. 
 The next day...no Moishe....now Abe was worried... he phoned Abe's number and got no answer. He even called a few local hospitals and even called Moishe's daughter in Israel to no avail. Abe couldn't sleep that night wondering what had happened. Next day again no Moishe!
Now Abe was really concerned and just as he was about to call the cops and 911 he glanced out the window and saw Moishe going into "Goldberg's Deli" across the street. Abe took off out the door and raced across the street narrowly missing getting hit be a bus and confronted Moishe just as he was sitting down. Abe screamed, "where the hell have you been! I lost sleep and spent good money phoning around about you and what are you doing here at Goldberg's.....you know he's my worst enemy! Explain to me Moishe!!!!!"
Moishe looked at Abe and said calmly, "settle down Abraham, settle down, you'll be having a heart attack. I'll be telling you what happened okay. I went to the dentist 3 days ago and had one of those root canals. Oy the pain! The dentist gave me some pills and said   'Moishe, for a few days eat on the other side'"

Know your Israeli passenger

The Israeli passenger gets on a plane and feels like a new immigrant, even
if he has only spent one week abroad. "Wow! It's so good to finally hear
some Hebrew."


The Israeli passenger stretches out on three empty seats on the plane, even
if he's not supposed to sit there. "So they'll ask me to get up. What have I
got to lose?"


The Israeli passenger tries to "sneak" forward to the more expensive seats.
"Why do you care? Half of the business class is empty as it is."


The Israeli passenger asks the flight attendant for a glass of water before
take off, and usually explains the reason for his request. "I just have to
take a pill" or "I haven't had a drink all day."


The Israeli passenger has a refined taste, especially when he is served with
meatballs and couscous for lunch. "Does it come with gravy?"


The Israeli passenger bought a plane ticket, and therefore thinks he
deserves everything. "What do you mean there's no alcohol on this flight? I
paid a full price."


The Israeli passenger apparently doesn’t know that there are trash cans on
the plane, and throws everything around his seat. "We'll collect everything
at the end of the flight." Yeah, right.



The Israeli passenger will walk into the plane's kitchen, see the steward
eating on his break and disrupt his meal, politely. "Bon Appétit! Can I have
some coffee? I'm in A25, okay?"




The religious Israeli passenger opens a synagogue at the back of the plane
together with other religious passengers, and loudly recites the morning
prayer while everyone else is sleeping. "Steward guy, come join us, we're
missing one person for a quorum…"


The religious Israeli passenger reaches out to the beverage cart and simply
picks up a bottle of juice or any other drink. "I just wanted to check its
kashrut certificate."


The Israeli passenger must sample all the different Israeli newspapers
before entering the plane, despite being asked to settle for one. "Of course
I read all of them. Yedioth and Maariv, Makor Rishon and Yated Ne'eman."



The Israeli passenger "tries out" the entire Duty Free cart, asking to see,
check, smell and touch the products – but settles for a keychain for his kid
or a golden bar of Toblerone. "We have to bring something back, no?"



The Israeli passenger quickly gulps his glass of juice down and asks for a
refill, before the steward has even finished pouring it. "And if you could
add wine for the meal and a can of beer, it would be really nice. But don't
open it, leave it closed, okay?"



The Israeli passenger knows his drink very well. "I'll have a whiskey on the
rocks – but without ice."


The Israeli passenger likes to mention that his niece or the daughter of a
friend of his is a stewardess too, so you must know her (although there are
hundreds of flight attendants). "She travels a lot, she's in New York all
the time."


The Israeli passenger makes his own decision that the flight is over and
gets up, even though the plane is still moving. "What do you want? I'm only
taking my bag from up there, that's all."




The Israeli passenger thinks an airline is a bus company. 'So, do you travel
on this line often?"


The Israeli passenger finds it difficult to read the writing on the lavatory
door ("press here") and ends up dismantling the door. "What's going on? How
do you open this thing?"


The Israeli passenger thinks the travelers' body wastes come out of the
plane and are scattered in the air. "Say, can I use the toilet on the
ground?"


The Israeli passenger knows his "rights" and likes to insist on them. "They
put a fat passenger in front of me and I can't watch the film. I demand
compensation!"



The Israeli passenger doesn't like anyone to sit next to him, and if someone
sits next to him – he should not be in the middle, and if he is in the
middle – he should not have a haredi next to him, and the haredi doesn't
want to sit next to a woman, and the woman doesn't want to sit next to a guy
who flirts with her, and the guy who flirts with her doesn’t want to sit
next to a noisy kid who interrupts his flirting. In short, everyone wants to
sit alone.



The Israeli passenger thinks the airline belongs to your father and that you
really care when he resorts to threats. "This is the last time I fly with
you!"



The Israeli passenger likes to joke. 'Say, can we go out for a smoke? Ha
ha…"


But on the positive side…

The Israeli passenger is also the first to offer to help when someone faints
on the plane. "I was a paramedic in the army, pull his legs up."


And the Israeli passenger appreciates the small plate of hummus served for
lunch. "This is really good. Can I get some more pita bread?"


And the Israeli passenger is the one who sometimes appreciates the flight
attendants' hard work. "You were great, just great," and even writes to the
management about it.


And the Israeli passenger is the one who comes to talk to you in the middle
of the night when everyone's asleep and you're bored. "So you stay up all
night? It must be hard…"



And the Israeli passenger is the one who remembers you from the flight when
you're abroad and helps you in times of need. "Hey, you were the steward on
our flight."


And the Israeli passenger is the one who recommends a really cheap store he
happens to know. "There is a store near Times Square which sells two pairs
of snickers for the price of one, and on Mondays the entire store is 50%
off."


And the Israeli passenger is the one who makes you feel at home when you're
abroad and invites you to dine at his restaurant. "Drop by any time when
you're in Paris. Here's my business card."


And the Israeli passenger is the one who trusts you the most. "Can you keep
an eye on the child for a minute? I'm going to the bathroom."


And the Israeli passenger makes you feel somewhat proud. "I only fly with
you, only with an Israeli airline."


And the Israeli passenger is the one who, despite the hardships of the long
flight, smiles at you when it ends. "It was a terrific flight, thanks!"



So here's the conclusion: The Israeli passenger can be annoying, can act
like an oppressor and a person who deserves everything, but he's also the
one who understands you more than anyone (and you him), who speaks your
language without forcing you to break your teeth, and you may have even
dated his daughter.


But more than anything, he is an Israeli, and if he is an Israeli – it means
he's also you. So next time you fly, remember: The toilet can also be used
on the ground!



And what do you think about the Israeli passenger?

Moshe was sitting at the bar staring at his drink when a large, trouble-making biker steps up next to him, grabs his drink and gulps it down in one swig and menacingly says, “Thanks Jew Boy, whatcha going to do about it?" 
 
Moshe burst into tears.

"Come on, man," the biker says, "I didn't think you'd CRY. I can’t stand to see a man crying. What’s your problem?"

"This is the worst day of my life," Moshe says.  "I'm a complete failure. I was late to a meeting and my boss fired me. When I went to the parking lot, I found my car had been stolen and I don't have any insurance. I left my wallet in the cab I took home. I found my wife in bed with the postman and then my dog bit me.
 
"So I came to this bar to work up the courage to put an end to it all. I buy a drink, drop a capsule in and sit here watching the poison dissolve; then you show up and drink the whole thing!
 

"But enough about me, how's your day going?"

Moishe had a wife named Gittel, who nagged him unmercifully.

From morning until night (and sometimes later), for the 65 years they had been married, Gittel was always complaining about something.  The only time he got any relief was when he was out buying and selling junk and scrap metal with his old mule, because it took away from home often.

One day, when Moishe was negotiating a deal with another junk dealer, Gittel brought him lunch.  Moishe drove the mule into the shade, sat down on a stump and began to eat his lunch.  Immediately after saying his brochos (blessings), Gittel began nagging him again; Complain, gripe, nag, nag; it just never stopped.  All of a sudden, the old mule lashed out with both hind feet and caught Gittel smack in the back of the head, killing her dead on the spot.
 
At the funeral the next day, one of the Rabbis noticed something rather odd.  When a female mourner approached Moishe, he would listen for a minute, then nod his head in agreement; but when a male mourner approached him, he would listen for a minute, then shake his head in disagreement.
 
This was so consistent, the Rabbi decided to ask him about it.  After the funeral, the Rabbi spoke to Moishe and asked his old and dear friend why he nodded his head in agreement with all the women, but always shook his head in disagreement with the men.
 
Moishe said, "Well, the women would come up and say something about what a good person my wife was, or how she was such a good cook or devoted wife, so I'd nod my head in agreement."

"And what about the men?" the Rabbi asked.

"They wanted to know if the mule was for sale".

In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed to
stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods:

On a Sears hairdryer -- Do not use while sleeping.
(Shoot, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair.)

On a bag of Fritos -- You could be a winner! No purchase necessary.
Details inside.
(the shoplifter special)?

On a bar of Dial soap -- "Directions: Use like regular soap,"
(and that would be how???....)

On some Swanson frozen dinners -- "Serving suggestion: Defrost."
(but, it's "just" a suggestion).

On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom) -- "Do not turn upside down."
(well...duh, a bit late, huh)!

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding -- "Product will be hot after heating."
(...and you thought????...)

On packaging for a Rowena iron -- "Do not iron clothes on body."
(but wouldn't this save me more time)?

On Boot's Children Cough Medicine -- "Do not drive a car or operate
machinery after taking this medication."
(We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we
could just get those 5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.)

On Nytol Sleep Aid -- "Warning: May cause drowsiness."
(and...I'm taking this because???....)

On most brands of Christmas lights -- "For indoor or outdoor use only."
(as opposed to...what)?

On a Japanese food processor -- "Not to be used for the other use."
(now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious)

On Sainsbury's peanuts -- "Warning: contains nuts."
(talk about a news flash)

On an American Airlines packet of nuts -- "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts."
(Step 3: maybe, ooh...fly Delta?)

On a child's Superman costume -- "Wearing of this garment does not
enable you to fly."
(I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.)

On a Swedish chainsaw -- "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands
or genitals."
(Oh my ..was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)

What happens when a fly falls into a coffee cup?

The Italian – throws the cup and walks away in a fit of rage.

The Frenchman – takes out the fly, and drinks the coffee.

The German - carefully washes the cup, sterilizes it and makes a new cup of coffee.

The Chinese – eats the fly and throws away the coffee.

The Russian – drinks the coffee with the fly, since it was extra with no charge.

The Israeli – sells the coffee to the Frenchman, the fly to the Chinese, Buys himself a new cup of coffee and uses the extra money to invent a device that prevents flies from falling into coffee.

The Palestinian – blames the Israeli for the fly falling in his coffee, protests the act of aggression to the UN, takes a loan from the European Union to buy a new cup of coffee, uses the money to purchase explosives and then blows up the coffee house where the Italian, the Frenchman, the Chinese, and the Russian are all trying to explain to the Israeli that he should give away his cup of coffee to the Palestinian.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.
