The Mother of All "Yiyeh B'seders"

As I detailed a few months ago, one of the national slogans here is "Yiyeh B'seder (it will be ok)". There's no situation yiyeh b'seder can't handle. It's the Clorox bleach of phrases.
"Fido crapped the floor? No problem!"
Get it?

I recently witnessed the mother of all yiyeh b'seders when talking with my roommate. It unfolded like this.

Benji: "I read in the paper that the Arabs are preparing for war."
Roommate: "Ahhhh, dat's bullsheet."
B: "You think so? What about all the rhetoric from Iran?"
R: "Dey have been saying dat for years."
B: "And now they're building a bomb!"
R: "So what?"
B: "So then they nuke us! Kablooey!"
R: "So they nuke us! Yiyeh b'seder!"

And there it was. I felt like I just watched Wilt Chamberlain score 100 points in a game. I'll be telling my grandkids about that performance some day.

Other fun yiyeh b'seder references (maybe this should have its own label):
Yiyeh B'seder at Ulpan!
Yiyeh B'seder Cleaning the Floor!
Yiyeh B'seder at the Bank!
