I know what a jukebo...OK, now I feel like an idiot.<br />I know what a jukebox is, and I know that "juke" is Hebrew for cockroach. <br />To redeem myself, I offer the following suggestion:<br />The artwork for your t-shirts can feature a cool looking cockroach smoking a cigarette, snapping his fingers, and dancing to the music coming out of a jukebox. (see the California Raisins for inspiration). Of course, it would work better if you switched the words around to read "Jameel's Jumping Juke Joint" (after all, what's really jumping- Jameel or the joint?)SuperRaizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06742653185025562286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-91143184948876013222009-06-19T17:12:04.173+03:002009-06-19T17:12:04.173+03:00Super Raizy,

As to the Israeli "jukim," are you sure you want to market something that ties eating together with cockroaches? Just a thought.ProfKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954446826821665314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-10161645687561582152009-06-19T15:07:49.729+03:002009-06-19T15:07:49.729+03:00A juke, in Israeli Hebrew slang is a cockroach.
M...A juke, in Israeli Hebrew slang is a cockroach.<br /><br />Many years ago, on a trip to NY, I entered a Sears store in a mall with my then 10 year old son to buy him some clothing. The boys department had been recently redecorated with a rock-n-roll motif. My son saw a refrigerator-sized electronic contraption that was part of the decor and asked me what it was. Without much thought I answered, "a jukebox". He was immediately on the floor laughing hysterically. I guess to him a jukebox was the same thing as a Roach Motel.Gee a Moronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00049652650047347640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-60646979944051367742009-06-19T14:10:32.713+03:002009-06-19T14:10:32.713+03:00What's a juke?What's a juke?SuperRaizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06742653185025562286noreply@blogger.com
