| מטר |
| (meter) from the word “meter”. |
| “This tape measure was made in Israel.” |
| סרט המדידה הזה יוצר בישראל. |

| אני תמיד לוקחת איתי מסור. |
| (ani tamid lokaħat iti masor.) |
| “I always take a saw with me.” |
| That’s not true, okay. It was just a joke. I don’t want you to think I’m that weird, okay. |
