Missing Kedusha

The Satmar Rov was known for his sharp wit. A good friend sent me the following story:

A litvishe guy went to visit the Satmer Rov. The Rov asked how old he was and he said 19. The Rov asked if he is married, and he answered that he is not. The Rov said "Nu, ben shmone esreh l'chupa". The boy answered "I have a long shmone esreh."

The Satmer Rov responded "If you have a long shmone esreh, you miss kedusha."
