Cathy: Hair essentials, makeup essentials, contact lens essentials, financial essentials, basic office supplies, back-up tank tops, extra shoes, magazines, socks and a hoodie. Irving: See? I knew you could fit everything you need for our trip in one carry-on bag! Cathy: This isn't my carry on bag. It's my purse.

How does one write, “Oye vey!” correctly?

Can’t see them ever getting away on this trip.
Chuck: I would write it ‘Oy vey’ but what is important is the shoulder shrug and the palms out gesture that accompanies it.

@Helen Henley; I agree about the spelling, since you’re using the English alphabet which is inadequate to communicate it anyway…

Is it possible for us Gentiles to feel the emotion, much less express it?

Enough, already. This story line hasn’t been funny for a long time.

Why does she need “basic office supplies” if she’s going on vacation? This isn’t going to end well…

Everybody knows the emotion, Lewreader – we’re all alike on the inside. Different cultures have a different vocabulary to express it, that’s all.
Performance note, Helen: Shoulder shrug, palms out would go with a simple “Oy!” (Accompanied by an eye roll.) “Oy, vey!” rates a hand to the forehead and a pained expression.
Yes, I’ve seen plenty of both. :) Also lots of examples of verbal/body language from other traditions…I was raised in New York City, where you eventually see everything.

Okay, how long has Irving lived with her now? He should know how she thinks!

The only essentials are really for contact lenses. The rest can be bought later if needed. But it is getting ridiculous how large some people’s carry ons are. I’ve seen one person take up an overhead bin that was intended for three.

To “lightenup”: the carry-on luggage wouldn’t be so out of control if the airlines hadn’t started charging for checked baggage. Before they started that, my carry-on luggage normally consisted of a large purse, with room for a book, my wallet, a change of underwear (just in case my luggage got lost), and my IPod. Now, if I’m going on a short trip, EVERYTHING goes in the carry-on.

In an outreach getsture to the Jewish people of the world, Pope Benedict approved a new ecumenical hymn titled ”Oy Vey, Maria”.

Back-up Tank Tops? And I thought Cathy in a bathing suit was a scary vision.
Some things are just too terrifying to comprehend. 8-o

small purse. Regular sized carry on (not stuffed). But some carry way more than allowed. Saw a woman with three open XL totes. I think she used them because they really can’t get checked. She wasn’t on my flight so I have no idea what happened (the car seat bags used maybe?) but she had a large suitcase worth of luggage there. I agree that the checked bag charge has made carry on a mess. Planes could leave earlier if they severely limited carry on baggage and gave you one free (weight and size restricted) checked bag. What the airlines are looking for is more space for paying cargo. (“Air mail” and the like)
