Just a couple of days ago, I wrote about my effort to buy Pant Steak from the store. That was just the most recent example of my attempt to read English words in Hebrew which all Americans know are the toughest ones to make out. Just a few days later, I ran into another problem when looking at my bank account online.
Second to last transaction...“Who in the hell is De Na-SHON Tar-PEEK?”
Anyone want to take a stab? Or you can give up and check my Facebook profile. I laughed out loud really hard when I figured it out.
And since I volunteered a prize which I now have to pay up, Silver Spring Alan, if you email me a topic about something silly in Israel, I will write about it. (Lame prize? I couldn’t think of anything else…what, you think I’m making mad cash off this site? (Ech omrim “mad cash”?))
Postscript: Ok, so after a little bit of thought, perhaps it's best to not have my company name show up on this blog. After all, b'Yisrael yesh Goo-gehl (written like it's pronounced...and yes, a few weeks ago, my roommate actually "corrected" my pronunciation.
Somewhere in the middle of a discussion...
Benji: "Google."
Roommate: "Goo-gehl"
Benji's brain: "Did that just happen?")
So Miss Worldwide, you were correct in your second comment which has since been deleted. The rest of you...if you can't figure it out, hey, welcome to Israel.

See? Not so easy! : )
Mazal tov!
em, if on further thought you don't want to mention your workplace, perhaps you should also edit the reference to your Facebook page where your workplace is written in plain English? You don't have to write mystery novels to put together all the clues...
(ps I did get it from the Hebrew, but I thought it was such an odd name that it couldn't be right. Silly me.)
It's ok on my Facebook page, I think...Google doesn't pick up on that. It does pick up blogs though and could easily come across somebody's screen. Like my good buddy De'Shon.
Clarity, clarity, must work on clarity.
What I meant was delete the part that says "see my Facebook page" because if a malicious lurker sees that he can check the name of your workplace, he (or she) might do malicious things behind your back in your name.
Or perhaps I just watch too much tv and give people too much credit for having nothing better to do?
what???? you got a traffic ticket and had to pay for it???
So for those of us who are coming to this more than a month later, can we get a clue? You can't possibly still have this on your facebook. Can you?
I think something "traffic", de hoozband thinks something "terrific".
Tell your husband you're right. The first comment contains the first two words.
