"Reality has come home to roost at long last."
"Reality doesn't come home to roost silly."
"What job are you gunning for? Governor of the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP)?"
"How did you conclude that from my statement?"
"Our Governor is also rather partial to keeping up with the textbooks rather than assessing reality as it exists in Pakistan and then deciding on the most appropriate decision. I mean only four months after he was selected as Governor SBP there are rumblings among the business community and the general public, has to be a record..."
"You don't keep with the textbooks, you keep with the Joneses..."
"If the Egyptians are the new Joneses then..."
"Oh dear me, you are in a facetious mood today."
"Seriously, though when you pointed out that it is chickens who come home to roost then I agree with you, a couple of chickens have returned home to roost and..."
"I said don't be facetious; besides let me share a fact with you. Total world population of humans is around 7.7 billion as of April 2019 and the chicken population is more than 20 billion..."

"Right and the establishment has a role in the National Security Council, as appropriate."
"And in the National Development Council..."
"But..."
"Remember the 10 billion dollars plus borrowed because the civil military establishments were on the same page?"
"I get it."
"About time."
