I hate to ruin the joke, but they do have both "T" and "V" in the Hebrew alphabet. (I spent some time there in my teens, and learnt the alphabet - and my Word, there was like a Russian invasion there at the time! Russians everywhere - they all hated the USSR and were not particularly enamoured by Israel either... I wonder if they learnt to like it in the end, or went back to Russia, or what happened. There was this REALLY cute guy who played the guitar and had wild curly brown hair and fantastic eyes.... )
