At the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, a guy once tried to sell me a warm can of Coke for $15. I laughed and said no way.
Apparently he didn’t find it very funny, because he pulled out a sort of large Stanley knife and waved it around in frustration. I wasn’t sure whether to be scared or to laugh harder, the idea of getting stabbed over a can of Coke felt so absurd. I just walked off and left him shouting behind me.
Not that crazy, but still a pretty absurd moment.
