Partial answer: Goddbye Mr. Olive (or Mr. Zayit), Down and out* (see comment) mzahit (?) mixed
Explanation:
Zayit is Olive but could also be a name
Shafuz is a combination of Shavur (broken) Zayin (penis) a slang tern meaning I'm Down and our or I've had it
mzahit - I don't recognize the word, is it a name? Could mean "from an olive" (meZayit)
Mahool - mixed (as in mixed drink)

Should read Goodbye Mrs. Olive not Mr. Olive (my keyboard dropped the S)

--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 2002-10-14 16:04:25 (GMT)

Rereading the sentence the meaning becomes clearer:
Goodbye Mrs. broken Olive from a mixed Olive

Last note, I promise: Shazuf means Tanned. I was tired and made mistakes and for that I apologize. I think I wrote \"broken\" as Freudian thing...

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Penina Wolicki: geveret is Ms. or Mrs. and not Mr., Mahool means watered down and not mixed. I also do not recognize the word mzahit, maybe it should have been Mizrahit - as in "Eastern", and the word was shazuf - tanned, not shafuz
1 hr
  -> Pnina, please read the ENTIRE answer before you hit the disagree button. In a note I wrote the keyboard dropped the S from Mrs. Mahool is mixed when in a drink (the mix CAN be water, but also other liquids) and Shazuf is my mistake -your are right on that
neutral  John Kinory (X): Pnina may well have commented before you added your note. Your last note still claims that shazuf = broken, which it is not.
8 hrs
  -> You are right, Shazuf means tanned (see note above)

Explanation:
It appears to me that both the geveret and the gever who left enjoyed drinking martinis together, except maybe she enjoyed them more:)

Also, mahul may be me-hul, and that's different. Except I don't remember what "hul'" means.
