I disguised myself as a Muslim close to my Jewish self as possible. As a Lubavitcher, I went around asking people, "excuse me, are you Muslim?"

How do the goyish blogs know about an HT? How do they know what Hakaras Tov is?
Incorrect. I was able to open the door with ease when I was inside by turning the key on the outside.
... Outcome: Missed flight in DTW, Overnight stay in DTW, trip extended as per Shabbos...

I have to be in Israel before 9am on Monday, and I have to leave Motza Shabbes, and if I fly to AMM I land late at night that means sleeping in AMM! So should I convince her to go to the Jordanian border or to sleep in AMM over night?

Dress her up like Mrs. AJK and you're golden.

Statement was true when I posted it.

What did you do, start a grassroots campaign in the last 10 mins to have all of the women from boropark vote here?

Besides, it's really 31 vs 18. The subject of the debate arose when OP said he couldn't fly to AMM because of DW.  Thus, the topic is the wives... not those people who aren't "man enough" even themselves to take EK F ;)

I think it would be tougher to dress me up as Mr AJK then her as Mrs AJK.

(just remembered this and figured it fits in here)
When I was flying CAI-AMM-TLV, when I landed in AMM is when I texted my family and said "I'm back safe"  8)

When you then finally made it to TLV you texted them again saying "Actually, I'm not so sure"  ::)

Are you saying AMM is safer than CAI? Just asking.
