Senate turns into a fish market
"The Senate gave the appearance of a fish market again."
"Fish market is good."
"What? You like noise and conflict and..."
"Well fish is white meat and good for you unlike beef or mutton. I mean can you imagine what the Senate would have been like if it was like the beef market?"
"Don't be facetious..."
"No seriously; and this would be more disturbing if a buyer finds out that the meat he is buying is not beef but of some non-kosher animal as is not that unusual in several major cities of this country."
"Don't be facetious. Anyway do you know the difference between this country, the Land of the Pure, and the West?"
"Many differences, for one we import a lot of people to run our government but all have to be Brown Sahibs, I mean woe to anyone who hires a qualified white man or a black man to do the job."
"My God, that was a new record! I am referring to the number of politically incorrect phrases you used in that last sentence - brown sahib and white and black man. I mean talk about race three times..."
"That's one point against me not three because the charge is the same right? I mean the International Monetary Fund's prior conditions are one - even though two were implemented by Governor State Bank and one with many, many subheads by the Advisor Hiding in the best possible way, in plain sight..."
"What in the world do you mean?"
"Well, the Advisor meets the press as one of five, anyway for the Fund the prior condition is one, because if we take it they will proceed to the next stage which is approval of the loan, and if we don't there is no next stage..."
"But I am feeling the pain of each of the three prior conditions separately..."
"How can you isolate pain from an eroding rupee with the pain due to higher taxes or indeed from higher interest rate?"
"I feel the pain from the eroding rupee in my kidney....with serious renal consequences, the pain from higher taxes in my intestines and..."
"Oh shush, don't be facetious. Anyway for your information Nawaz Sharif hired a white man to run our national airlines and he sold an antique PIA plane to some museum in Germany and then did an Ishaq Dar - left the country with government approval when the hearing of the case against him was ongoing..."
"That's the past and need I add no white man or black man is part of the Khan's administration."
"Oh dear me."
