Partly Facetious: Johnny Bravo is very muscular

08 Mar, 2016

"There is only one woman who doesn't make me feel crummy and that's dear old mummy."
"Where in the world is that coming from?"
"Johnny Bravo."
"I don't know who Johnny Bravo is."
"Oh dear, you have to really increase the stock of your information my friend. Johnny Bravo is a character in an American animated series and is a very muscular rather boorish man who tries to get women to date him and fails."
"Oh dear that would irritate the Maulana and the Jamaat-e-Islami leader no end - both of them have opposed the women's protection bill."
"Does the bill refer to dating?"
"That's a decadent Western concept. If you like some girl you marry them, not date her. And if you are already married you request the first wife to allow you to remarry and..."
"But the bill does not refer to dating."
"No, but it doesn't need to - there is no way that in 2016 the word dating could have been in a Pakistani bill. And I would urge you to shut up and don't put up because you are getting deeper into the mire of controversy, what with Johnny Bravo and the women protection bill."
"OK, but Johnny Bravo reckons he is really cute and when he approaches women to form friendships he is spurned and so he likes his mom the best..."
"There you go again, what possible significance..."
"All I want to say is that our perception of ourselves is different from how others perceive us and the only ones who may support our versions of ourselves are perhaps our moms."
"Still don't get it."
"I have it on good authority that Ishaq Dar goes to Lahore every weekend, just so he can remain close to the first family and leaves behind press releases for meetings that never take place on a weekend in Islamabad or in some cases took place on Friday."
"I don't get it... who in this country thinks that Dar is not the hardest working minister?"
"No one but..."
"His decisions are controversial, OK highly controversial, but his work hours are not in debate."
"You are being facetious."
