Partly Facetious : 85pc people of this country...

"Hafeez Sheikh has done it again."
"Hey, people are people and when they reach the age of superannuation they are unlikely to change."
"Superannuation?"
"Sounds good doesn't it! For 85 percent of the people of this country who are not literate it means retired."
"85 percent of the people of this country and 100 percent of Punjab's new generation where English will not be taught and we thank The Buzz for that - his nationalistic fervour..."
"Don't be facetious; anyway what were you referring to when you said HS has done it again?"
"In pursuance of the Prime Minister, his boss's directive, he has promptly allocated one billion rupees subsidy to the tandoors with the proviso that they sell roti/naan at the same price as on June 30."
"I can hear a but?"
"Indeed my friend, the but is that he has ordered..."
"Directed is the right word. The Prime Minister directs him as his underling and he directs others as his underlings and so on ad infinitum."
"Ad infinitum or ad nauseum?"
"Ha ha, that's right, anyway do you remember when he was last finance minister if someone close to Zardari sahib directed him to do something he would set up a committee to delay matters hoping that they would forget..."
"Right, and that was the only time he showed some backbone though if Zardari sahib himself directed him to do anything it was yes sir, yes sir, three bags full sir. So what did he do with the high roti/naan prices?"
"He has instructed a survey be carried out, a time consuming activity..."
"Indeed, so he is treating The Khan the same way he treated PPP government's number two leadership."
"Yep, but I guess Younus Dagha can be employed for that purpose given that he has no assignment these days after how he behaved during the negotiations with the International Monetary Fund..."
"But Dagha may make a case that HS doesn't like..."
"You are right, what was I thinking! But you are being a tad unfair - the survey will be carried out to ensure that the tandoors are passing on the subsidy to consumers..."
"I don't trust the tandoors and I don't trust HS. I will wait till the first Medina ki riyasat Ph.Ds come out..."
"Don't be facetious."
