Last night, Abi Ofarim was presented with a sheep.
There was a broader context to this exciting scene, but alas it was obliterated the instant I awoke. All that remains is a smiling Abi, circa 1967, taking in his arms a non-smiling sheep.
I would be pleased to hear from any brain-quacks who feel competent to interpret this phantasm.
The implication is clear. Ofarim, keen to appear in the role of a worldly country squire such as might be found in a Jane Austen novel, has taken to posing with farmyard animals in an effort to boost his credibility – a sort of Northanger Abi, if you will.
Nothing springs to mind but the obvious, I’m afraid, namely that ‘Abi Ofarim sheep’ is an anagram of ‘Mafia Biosphere’
