Partly Facetious: Difference between mediator and facilitator

Updated 17 Oct, 2019

"So The Khan is working as a facilitator between Saudi Arabia and Iran while back home he is the...the...what's the antonym of facilitator? Prohibitor! Preventer!"

"Two things my friend: first, cricket is not played in either Saudi Arabia or Iran..."

"If you are saying what I think you are saying then..."

"You Khanzadehs are so quick to take offense, all I meant was that those countries where cricket is played have known The Khan for decades now, England, Australia, New Zealand, regional countries except Bhutan and Maldives, but where cricket is not played he is not that well known."

"You reckon the Maulana is more known in Saudi Arabia than The Khan!?"

"Don't be facetious; anyway The Khan has charisma, I mean even Trump likes him, quite obviously."

"Trump also likes King Jong Un of North Korea and..."

"Why don't we send Razzak Dawood to North Korea for a Free Trade Agreement and when it's ready to be signed, The Khan can visit......"

"Don't be facetious, you know the Khanzadehs don't like it when you take this tone."

"I meant no disrespect, anyway there is speculation in this country that The Khan requested the Saudi Arabia Crown Prince during his most recent visit to tell our Maulana to abandon the Azadi march and I am not sure..."

"Rubbish! The Khan is not worried about the march. He said he was going to give them a container with a toilet and..."

"One toilet isn't going to cut it. Anyway that comment of his is dated now besides The Khan's forty odd lieutenants are saying forty odd..."

"From what I know of the armed forces lieutenants are not into making individual statements and the army has one point of view."

"OK, there is work to be done there and I suggest the entire cabinet goes for training in the GHQ and..."

"Don't be facetious, besides the government is talking of stopping Maulana's yellow robed militia..."

"You can't refer to shalwaar kameez as a robe, anyway why did they choose the colour yellow? The internet refers to yellow colour as the color of happiness, and optimism, of enlightenment and creativity, sunshine and spring."

"The dark side of the colour is cowardice, betrayal, egoism, and madness."

"One goes yellow when suffering from malaria, jaundice..."

"No chance of that happening, its dengue time in Pakistan. Could The Buzz please reactivate Shahbaz Sharif's system whereby dengue was brought under control?"

"How dare you..."

"Wait I voted for The Khan."

"The new and improved Wasim Akram is directing all those who are technically under him to submit reports within the week if not the day and..."

"I hope unlike his boss he reads these reports."

"If wishes were horses..."

"Hey for him they are."
