Question 19.9:
What does Warren Burstein's signature mean?

The original signature quote said "The world is a very strange carrot, but the farmer is not worried at all." This is a pun on R' Nachman of Braslav's saying "Kol Haolom Kulo Gesher (Gezer) Tzar (Zar) Meod Vehaikar (Aleph & Ayin diff) Lo Lephached Klal," which actually says "The whole world is like a very narrow bridge, and the main idea is not to be worried at all."
