The new month is starting on a good foot with an unbelievable and funny event.

In a scene worthy of a comedy sketch, a Turkish man joined a search party for a missing person not realizing the individual being pursued was him.

The man identified as Beyhan Mutlu, was said to have gone drinking with a friend in a forest in the town of Inegol, northwest Turkey, late Tuesday. His wife reported him missing after he did not return home and she heard he had walked away from his friend, drunk.

According to Turkish online news site T24, it was reported on Friday that Gendarmerie and rescue teams were called in to find Mutlu, who had gone to sleep in a house in the forest.

Mutlu came across members of the search party in the morning and decided to help them find the missing person. He realized he was the focus of the search when they began calling his name.

“After a while, they said they were looking for Beyhan Mutlu,” T24 quoted him as saying. “I broke into a cold sweat when I heard my name.”

“I told them I was Beyhan Mutlu, but they continued to search,” Mutlu continued. “They didn’t believe me. The truth came out when my friend Mesut saw me.”

Mutlu said he was part of the search team for more than half an hour.

This got me rolling on the floor! I can imagine the look on everyone’s face when they realize they wasted 30mins looking for someone who isn’t missing🤣🤣🤣
