So this didn't age at all
So I got the Kishon collection for Pesach. Yay, Kishon! Alas, no ginger with a key and no laundry machines. (If you read the one with the laundry machine, you know what I'm talking about.)
This didn't age at all. As proof, have the following quote from My Beloved Partachia ("partach" being one of those words we bastardized off one or the other Eastern European language):
"לשפה הפרטאצ'ית מילון עתיר ביטויים. "זה יהיה בסדר" פירושו אסון. "סמוך!" רומז שהדבר בלתי אפשרי."
Translation:
"Partachian idiom is vivid. "It's gonna be fine" spells disaster. "Trust me!" means impossible."
You may recall my insistence that Israelis saying "Trust me, it's gonna be fine" are very very high on the list of things to run away from very fast, unless you have a bomb shelter from which to trust the proceedings while munching popcorn. Actually, I'd recommend something sturdier than a bomb shelter and Bamba instead of popcorn. This way, you can distract any friendly Partachians with Bamba. (Or, if you're allergic to peanuts, Bisli. Though then you may offend by offering the wrong flavor. Poprock chocolate, perhaps.)
Edit. This quote is officially 12yr older than I, guys. Nothing has changed.
