Daf-Yomi treasure, 86a

In a discussion about how icky women's bodies are, we come across the phrase "Yisrael k'doshim hen, v'ein m'shamshin mitoteihen bayom."

At 7am on the subway, I read this as "The Jews are a holy people, they don't sleep late."

It actually means they don't have sex during the daytime, but at that particular point in my day, sleeping late seemed a far more attractive prospect.
