play on words of Kol Kvoda Bat Melech

This pashkevil, tossed around Jerusalem, bears a quip that is actually cute and funny.


The pashkevil very simply calls upon the righteous women, the honorable princesses, to sit in the inner section of the bus.. and then it concludes with a play on words, referencing the expression - kol kvoda bat melech pnima - the honor of the daughter of a king is internal - but they divide up the words differently to mean - the honor of the daughter of a king is inside.

cute

  1. Serious question from outside Israel: What part of a bus is "pnimi"? The front? The middle? The back?

  2. Oh, so it's cute to tell women and girls where to sit - like it's the 1950's or something? Perhaps they feel sick at the back (which is a less comfortable ride), or don't feel like winding their way past all those men who each take one seat for themselves and one for their hat... That don't impress me much
