Koos Koos Tuesday-

Someone I know had reason to be in Dimona recently.
If you don't know what is in Dimona,look it up.

Met at the front guard booth- "Atah Miragel Americai? Are you an American Spy?"

'No. I, ah, I'm not an American spy."

"Are you sure? Cause you look like an American Spy."

'I'm not an American spy. If I was an American spy, I wouldn't know that today is kooskoos day.'

Wide eyes. "That's right! Today is koos koss day! Aich Yadaata-- How did you know?"

Nods towards the complex. 'I've been inside before.'

"OK. You're not a spy, if you were a spy you wouldn't know about koos koos tuesday." Looks at partner. "He knows about koos koos tuesday!"

'I've been here before - a few times. The first time was a short while after I made Aliya and we had lunch (koos koos) and then walked to the makolet and had artikim. Was the first time I had that flavor.'

"Thats right! The Makolet." Turns to partner, "He knows the makolet! First koos koos, then artikim!' Back to guy. "What flavor?"

'Guess'

"Tut?"

'No'

"Kivi? Petel?"

'no, no'

"Ah! Passiflora~ Passionfruit!"

"Yup"

"Of course! Passiflora, ken ken. Israeli's love passiflora!"

'Yeah... OK, so can I come inside the booth I just need to -'

"No. No coming inside the booth- Sorry, not allowed."

'Ok, I'll work outside. I just need to plug this in-'

'No, sorry, can't use the electricity.'

Later, through the guard booth window- after about an hour of chit chat...

'Hey, so have you had coffee yet today?'

"Ah, no"

The door opens, revealing a small stockpile of loaded automatic weapons, "Come in, come in, have coffee." Smiles- Inside the booth- "Are you from Jerusalem?... you look like you're from Jerusalem..."

'No. Bet Shemesh.'

"Ah, Sheinfeld, You're from Sheinfeld!"

'Nope'

"Nofei Aviv!"

'Ah, no....'
