Partly Facetious: Clueless

"Some have an on off switch and some don't."

"I have no clue what you are talking about."

"You know an on off switch - when to talk and when not to talk."

"Institutions have a calibrated on off switch."

"Calibrated?"

"It requires senior management approval to switch on and off."

"Oh I see so not an individual decision. That is good right, you consult and get every stakeholder on board and then decide, like in a cabinet."

"I can't understand who came up with this concept of a cabinet being democratic and taking collective decisions, in our political system it's one man who takes key decisions and..."

"Man or woman you mean."

"I thought we were talking of institutions."

"Nope, I was referring to the one who occupies the position of the prime minister!"

"On occasion our prime ministers have not been able to take final decisions and..."

"Technically what I said is correct."

"Agreed!"

"Anyway the former First Daughter has an on off switch, she can go absolutely quiet and the exact opposite."

"But her switch is controlled by her daddy and need I add dads with more experience and..."

"Even dads who are committed to making the same mistakes again and again just to prove that they were right the first time they made the mistake."

"Don't be facetious anyway Maryam Nawaz controls the on off switch of many a senior leader though not as many as daddy, and not as many as Uncle S I hear."

"Hmmmm Uncle S has an on off switch that he controls himself, one of the few politicians who proactively engages in consultations or negotiations or parleys..."

"What about The Khan - he is pretty stubborn..."

"Nah."

"No examples, that's it?"

"That's it."

"Oh.....any example of someone who has a design flaw with no on off switch?"

"There is Sheikh Rashid."
