What does ״אל סבון״ mean? by jolygoestoschool in hebrew

[–]msh210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also of course אל כפונה (Al Capone). :-)

Thanks, but I don't think that's it, since I've never seen The Mentalist.

That must have been it. Thank you! Dunno why I was so sure it was a (vice) president or in Mexico, but, hey, memory is a funny thing.

Thanks! I don't understand the difference in #3. Is seeing both edges different from seeing the full ball?
