[HANASHIR:8760] Re: Ivri...Ivri Daber Ivrit!

[Micah Streiffer <Micah...>]

Here are a few more:

"Brrrr...It's COLD in the CAR"  (kar=cold)
"I could go out tonight, but I think I'll be much SAFER reading a BOOK."  
(sefer=book)
"My ELEPHANT is sick." "Then give it a PILL.--A PILL for your ELEPHANT."  
(pil=elephant)

There are others, but I can't think of them at the moment.

Also, I think that the jingle at the end is actually "Ivri, daver Ivrit"  (and 
not Ivrit, daber Ivrit." ) It means "You Hebrew, speak Hebrew"  and it was what 
Ben-Yehudah's followers used to write on cards and pass out to Jews ("Hebrews") 
whom they heard speaking languages other then Hebrew.
(I could be wrong about this.)
