Partly Facetious: The Kashmiri clan

"Pervez Rashid has become very active these days."
Published October 30, 2014

"Pervez Rashid has become very active these days."
"He needs to be; after all he needs to drum it into the low IQ people of Pakistan that the Nawaz Sharif administration is making great strides in improving their lot."
"Excuse me butt employment opportunities are on the decline, inflation is up and let's be honest the policy linking the price of fuel and electricity in the domestic market to its international price is not working. I mean in the event of a decline the price of nothing else comes down, and the ease of doing business has declined during Sharif's administration's first year in power, don't interrupt me I am just getting started."
"Just one quick question."
"Butt..."
"That's precisely it - you know but is not spelt with double t so why are you doing it?"
"The Butts will be our downfall and mind you I like Kashmiris, my mom is one."
"I would like to point out that the largest number of Butts in any federal cabinet are in Nawaz Sharif's cabinet though, if I remember correctly, a party leader pointed out that Sheikh Rashid is a Butt. And let's not forget that Gullu is a Butt as well and..."
"Is Gullu his real name or just a pet name?"
"Well, Gullu is not a pet name for Makhdoom."
"You leave the pirs alone - don't you remember Gilani was angered when the Supreme Court summoned him and he was forced to remind us all that he was a Makhdoom after all."
"Makhdoom, what does it mean?"
"For the life of me I don't know but if you split up the word, mach in physics relates to speed and all political Makhdooms I know of are faster than the speed of sound."
"In changing loyalties?"
"Political astuteness must not be mistaken for lotaism. And we all know what doom means."
"Granted that none of the pirs have become the leader of a party that won a general election but the point is that they are powerful in their constituencies."
"Let's lay the Butt controversy to rest. Let the federal cabinet add Butt as their middle name."
"That is not as effective as taking on Bhutto as a middle name."
"Ouch - you can't help being a nawala, taking a dig at Zardari sahib. Didn't you hear that the two parties are in agreement over nearly every thing?"
"All for the sake of democracy my friend!"
"Just add the word Butt somewhere in that sentence."
