My sister went to Israel last month and gave me this shirt for Christmas.

What it ACTUALLY says (according to the saleswoman) is:"Bart in Jerusalem"
I find this entirely too boring...

Give me some alternative translations, so when I wear this and someone asks, I can give them a smart *** remark.
The only one I have been able to come up with: If you don't ride a camel, you ain't Shiite. Which was #6 on Letterman's Top Ten List from way back in 91... (Category: Top Ten Arab Insults)

Thanks

BTW, apologies for the crappy photography...

Well, my Hebrew is pretty rusty - but the last word is Yerushalaem (Jerusalem); I'm not sure about the other two words, as my Hebrew was liturgical (for religious purposes), not conversational.

Here's another version of "Bart in Jerusalem" - and remember that Hebrew is read from right to left.

זקן בירושלים

So, as you can see, the "Jerusalem" part is pretty clear; I'm not too sure on the rest of it.
