Israeli Otters

as promised....

A: That is Ray Liotta

S: What Israeli otter?

A: eh? That (pointing at advert on TV) is Ray Liotta

S: what? What Israeli otter?

A: (frowning) surely you mean who?

S: no I mean what, or perhaps where. why would I mean who?

A: that makes no sense.

S: no, you make no sense. what is an israeli otter?

A: aha! Not israeli otter, Ray Liotta. He's an actor. Y'know, he's in Goodfellas.

S: Who is Ray Liotta?

and so on. A bit daft maybe but at least we can now blame any future misunderstandings on those pesky israeli-otters.

I wonder if they have otters in Israel.

So I've just looked up Israeli otters:
