Partly Facetious: Erdogan in capital

"Erdogan arrived and I had to face the worst-ever traffic crisis during the past seven years."
Published February 15, 2020

"Erdogan arrived and I had to face the worst-ever traffic crisis during the past seven years."

"I would like to correct you, he arrived with his wife and while she had no counterpart at the airport the decision maker Erdogan had his counterpart..."

"The counterpart does not use public money or public property, wait before you say anything she did hop on a plane that was in any case carrying the country's prime minister who was on an official tour."

"So, when The former First Daughter or the former First Brother hopped on a plane..."

"They hopped on the plane without the then Prime Minister...anyway the Prime Minister really must understand that driving a guest, however valued, disrupts traffic and he loses votes and..."

"Isn't the guy responsible Container Shah and he ain't relying on your vote to get a ministry."

"I guess you are right but I remember Chaudhry Nisar days fondly - maximum traffic delay five to seven minutes and..."

"And you reckon saying that will galvanize his successors to act accordingly. If anything you praise a former minister, hell you praise a sitting minister, and that will antagonize many who may tell on that minister to the prime minister and he is bound to lose his job..."

"Is that why The Buzz remains in place - no one but no one praises him so our Contrary Prime Minister..."

"Ha ha, don't be facetious; anyway I see the logic, so shall I praise Container Shah's performance and then he will be out!"

"Nah, I don't think so, he has contacts my friend..."

"One question: the traffic jam on Erdogan's arrival - was not as bad as when The Khan and His Then Partner were camped on Constitution Avenue."

"The Khan was never camped there, he had a house in Bani Gala, The Partner's properties are in Canada so he was camped on Constitution Avenue."

"Not even when President Xi was here - I mean his relevance to us is a lot more..."

"Not even then."

"So what's the moral of the story?"

"Put the status quo in your pipe and smoke it."
