Partly Facetious: Zardari understands Nawaz's gimmickry

"Protocol is important."
"What?"
"Protocol is important, and the higher up the ladder the more important it is."
"I would have thought the lower you are on the totem pole the more important you are in terms of actually implementing protocol."
"That tells me exactly where you are on the totem pole my friend."
"Hey, I am talking of a totem pole where there is a definite hierarchy not a stripper pole which is a one man show."
"I thought it was a one woman show."
"Not if you are in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan."
"Don't be facetious besides a stripper pole is un-Islamic and I would have you know..."
"What do you think I mean when I say stripper pole?"
"A pole where a stripper..."
"God forbid, you of the evil mouth and the mind - a stripper as I define it is the leader of a party - he strips the other parties leaders bare for all to see..."
"Explain."
"Well, Zardari sahib has stripped the farm package announced by Mian sahib bare: he says it's a political gimmick."
"And who better to spot someone engaged in political gimmickry?"
"Don't be facetious my friend, the fact remains that as Mian sahib understands the gimmickry employed by Zardari sahib when he was in power Zardari sahib understands Mian sahib's gimmickry."
"And where does the Khan stand in all this?"
"Shouting the same-o, same-o from the rooftops: rigging, muk makaa, resign or else another dharna..."
"Maybe just maybe the Khan needs to repaint his stripper pole..."
"That may complicate matters further - I mean who would want a multi-coloured stripper pole as each faction of his party would propose a different colour... and before you say anything don't forget that a multi-coloured stripper pole would detract attention away from the stripper."
"Don't be facetious."
