The Unidentified Backpack

A funny thing just happened...

I am sitting in a coffee shop with 2 of my friends at the moment. It's this great little Bohemian place on Sheinken St., which is one of the most popluar streets in Tel Aviv because of the shops and restaurants.

Anyways, we are sitting on the patio outside with 15 other people and someone spots a backpack under one of the empty tables. A man starts asking whose backpack it is. It's pretty quiet at first, but then once everyone realizes that it doesn't belong to anyone in the shop, panic breaks out. But it's in a comical way.

One woman runs into the coffee shop to find the owner. I just see her left hand, the one with the cigarette in it, flailing about. When she comes out everyone starts yelling, in Hebrew of course.

Finally, someone asks the man sitting on the bench a couple of feet away if it is his.

It is. Then everyone yells at him for scaring them.

Only in Israel :)
