The following is a conversation that happened at kiddush this past shabbos – I tried desperately to keep from laughing and spitting my cholent everywhere, so instead I laughed inside and kept to my straight and mature face.
“Hey rabbi will you blow a shofar that a woman touched?”
Of course, I can blow it if a woman touched it, she can touch whatever she wants.
“I meant if she touched it to her lips”
She can even blow it, what do I care?
“Really, a woman can blow a shofar”
She can blow it as much as she wants. For the record, my shofars been blown by my little girls all week and plenty of other woman have blown it.
“I always figured there was something that happened once she put it on her mouth.”
She can put it anywhere she wants, it’s still kosher and I or any other guy would be allowed to blow it.

Only you Heshy.

Do you think the guy asking was in on it?
no way, this was a table of secular middle aged folks at a rural chabad.
Only you Heshy.
Ancient temple mating ritual. There were no days as great in Israel as the 15th of av, Yom haKippurim, and the day of the great blowing. On these days, the young girls would go to the fields in white borrowed gauzy sun dresses, and they would spin such that the dresses would rise up above their ankle, revealing a bit of calf. But no one got too excited though, since they would not be accustomed to shave their legs anyway. (Rashi: It looked a bit like Smith College with all the hair, but hey, that’s they way it was.) Then the girls would purse their lips as if to take in a shofar, while pushing their tongue into their cheeks back and forth.
Ah, learning gemara was so much better before the Artscroll guys had to translate it. I love imaging what the Aramaic could have meant.

Incredible
Duh, if she puts her mouth on it, you have to have a second bris.
Now re-read this post, and take out the words shofar and shofars….
