Humor

P.J. O'Rourke sobre seu guia turĂ­stico em Israel:

"My tour guide arrived the next morning. His name was a long collection of aspirates, glottal stops, and gutturals with, like printed Hebrew, no evident vowels. "Americans can never pronounce it, " he said. "Just call me T'zchv". I called him Z.

(...)

Z was full of anger about the fighting in Israel - the fighting with the ultra-Orthodox Jews. "They don't serve in the army. They don't pay taxes. The government gives them money. I call them Pharisees".

[Peace Kills, p. 37]
