All possible combinations
Does it seem to anyone else that the thing commonly called "rabbinic tradition" is basically a repository of every possible thing that could be said? I'm sure that everyone I've read quoting "rabbinic tradition" actually has sources to back it up, but sometimes I feel like I could just make up a bizarre anecdote or quotation, claim it was from the "rabbinic tradition," and completely get away with it.Perhaps this could serve as an open thread to try to come up with sentences or stories that would not be believable excerpts from "rabbinic tradition" (anachronism excepted).
