Question
Hello Rabbi, During a Shabbat meal, someone hears a joke in the style of: someone is considering telling their boss that they have an eye problem and can't see themselves coming to work tomorrow. Is it permissible to continue the joke and say: the boss might say he has the same problem and doesn't see you getting paid? Or is there a concern of pride or lashon hara?
Answer
Hello Rabbi
There is no problem with this.
It is neither pride nor lashon hara.
