Sassy Pedicurist’s final words of wisdom before I head to Israel:

Me: “Any advice as I head into a country possibly on the brink of war?”
Sassy: “Wear shoe with open toe. Feet look good with pedicure. The men, they notice this.”
Me: “Ok. I meant, like, safety advice.”
Sassy: “Yes. This is for safety. Nice feet bring good man to protect you.”
Me: “Ah, got it.”
Sassy: “You go with friends?”
Me: “Yes. My two girlfriends.”
Sassy: “They have husband?”
Me: “No.”
Sassy: “Three husband you need. This is harder. You bring lots of polish for touch up.”
