It may happen only in Israel, It seems, that a salesman, representing a well-known cellular operator, starts to parody a customer's accent - and is sincerely shocked, after being interrupted by the angry buyer =))

The funniest point is: I was shocked bu customer reaction me too. The american accent in hebrew is a really cute one. U can't resist to a temptation to try It :)

Пожалуй, только в Израиле продавец, представляющий крупного сотового оператора, будет передразнивать акцент клиента, а потом еще и искренне удивится, что клиент рассержен =))

Самое забавное, что я тоже удивился злости покупателя. Американский акцент, он же такой... милый, что ли)) Его так и хочется примерить на себя :)

Each of you is welcome in Israel. I'm sure, you will be surprised by many things you never thought about. But the thing that, probably, will astonish you the most is the security men, checking on you everywhere.
For the last two years I've seen them less than i used to, but still... And sometimes they will ask you a short sacral phrase, saying "nEshek yEsh?", which means "Do you have a weapon?". Btw, "left it home" won't be considered a joke - half of us really do that, leave it home, you know.  And a joke "No weapon, just a bomb" may end up badly. Anyhow, few days ago something happened to one of those security guys: "hamUsh?" - he asked (armed?). After hearing one zillion times another version of this question, I was... I was shocked. Just imagine Britney Spears starting her show from any song of Montserrat Caballe and you will understand me. I even asked to repeat. "hamUsh?" Well, no...
A funny thing was to extend this idea. One more synonym for "armed" is "mezuyAn", more used in his second meaning "f*cked". I clearly see this scene...
