Friday morning at Jerusalem's Mahane Yehuda open air market: Local street-theater artist, "The Purple Man," freezes, until passersby drop a coin or two into his guitar case. They he plays for another 15-seconds, until he again goes rigid.

Ha. Haha. Like Friday shopping at Mahane Yehuda isn't a public disturbance, anyway...

Shabbat Shalom, and have a great weekend.
