Booket

There is a store not far from our apartment with the puzzling name בוקט. We weren't sure what it was because it contained no description.

However, the next time we saw it we noticed a flower next to the name. It was then that we realized that בוקט was a transliteration of the word bouqet, only whoever named the store didn't realize that the t is silent.

Oh, Israel.

What a great story! Right up there with that old joke about the "chet" (Hebrew letter, also the word for sin...)
