Called for Hagba and after failing to get the Sefer Torah even as high as his shoulders before having to be helped back down, the poor incapable and weak Hagbah failure went to a gym for three months straight. He pumped. He benched (not after bread). He strained.
He returned with muscles bulging, calves tense and forearms mighty. At schule that Shabbat, and seeing his chance to make up for his misdeed, he grabbed the Sefer Torah and flipped it over, grabbing the two etzim gracefully; he then flipped the Sefer around while in its vertical position and as the gasps and applause broke out, especially from the Ezrat Nashim, he then turned the Sefer horizontally and let go of the upper etz and caught it all as it rolled up in his other hand. And then he sat down.
The schule was abuzz with excitement and then, the Gabbai leans over to him and whispers: "that voz reelly fantastik, Yankel, but you should know, we're only holding at Shisi". http://muqata.blogspot.com/2006/10/amazing-save-of-day-on-simchat-torah_16.html
