From Patzka Reshet
From YUSSR 1992
1) Whenever they say Pachymu you say Patamushta!
2) Miasa and Moloko never mix!
3) You know in advance that your best campers are the ones who are actually
not Jewish.
4) Never talk during MALITVA!
5) You have just now figured out that cousins are called siblings in Russian
- that's why everyone has so many siblings!
6) Ne Vesmoshna - means "it is possible, but it will cost you."
From FuNkYFiShY@aol.com
You can no longer sing "Yibone Hamikdash" or talk about the holiday of sukkot without chuckling under your breath (and remembering when that translator first pulled you aside and had to tell you why the natives were all laughing at you when you did the same).
