One פורים, a תלמיד said that according to גימטריה wine, יין, is honey cake, לקח.  When he was told that יין in גימטריה is 70 and לקח is 138, he said: “You have to drink more wine.”  But that doesn’t work either, he was told, because two times יין is more than לקח.  “So take another piece of לקח,” the תלמיד answered.  But two pieces of לקח are much more than two glasses of יין, he was told.  “You’re right,” he said.  “What you need to do is to drink so much wine and eat so much cake until you can’t keep track of the חשבון.  Then, you can fulfill the מצווה of עד דלא ידע.”
