  • Comments Off on Partly Facetious: The court has reserved its verdict
"I would like to urge Mian sahib..."

"Hey, the court reserved the judgment and I have it on good authority that the full judgment will be announced by the end of next week latest and..."

"Well, I don't know who is listening to your dire prognosis! Mian sahib's two sons are not in the country, they only visit when summoned by their dad..."

"Not the court?"

"Don't be silly, and Mian sahib's elder daughter is in London as her husband is not well and you know the Sharifs and their spouses do not go to local hospitals and Mian sahib's younger daughter, the daughter in law of AID, has never ever been in the news so that's none of your business...."

"Why do you refer to Ishaq Dar as AID - I get the ID but A?"

"If you can't get that then you deserve to be exiled....wait we don't have a dictatorship where exile...self imposed or dictator imposed is possible."

"I don't want to be exiled so I will make an educated guess: is P the next letter after the A..."

"OK, no more, I don't want to receive a court notice...Dar sahib can afford to hire the best lawyers in the country and..."

"The lawyers need substance and if they are not provided substance then the most expensive lawyer will lose a case...stop watching TV and..."

"Got it, anyway, when I began to say I would like to urge Mian sahib I wasn't going to refer to the Panama case but to what he is wearing in Turkey: you know the Saville Row suits and something that is so Brown Sahib - a man from the sub-continent wearing overcoats, I mean we don't have a tradition of overcoats because it never gets that cold here and..."

"But his foreign travels..."

"OK, but again I got distracted anyway I wanted to urge Mian sahib not to wear a printed tie when he opts to wear a pin stripe suit. That's a no-no in the fashion world."

"Hey, one correction: I have it on authority that Mian sahib is paying for fashion advice from Ivanka Trump and you may refer to it as killing two birds with one stroke and..."

"Ivanka does women's fashions and as the FFFs meaning First Family Females do not wear Western clothes Ivanka's advice would appear to be from a non-expert shall we say."

"Don't be facetious. Fashion is fashion irrespective of which genders."

"I give up."
