Partly Facetious: Punishment is like beauty

"So what would be the nature of the punishment you reckon?"
Published October 16, 2018

"So what would be the nature of the punishment you reckon?"
"You need to tell me who is the punisher and who the punishee before I can give you my views. Punishment is like beauty: it lies in the eyes of the beholder."
"That reminds me, when intelligence agencies try to get information out of terrorists they prey on the fears of the punishee rather than employ standard normal set of punishments if you know what I mean."
"Agreed, the punisher and the punishee are important before one can determine the right punishment so who is the Punisher and who is the punishee when you asked me what would be the nature of the punishment?"
"Trump says he will punish Saudi Arabia if it is proved that the government had the journalist Kashoggi killed."
"That's an easy one - he will take the Forbes magazine, latest edition, and spank the..."
"That was Stormi Daniels punishment - do you really think what's good for the goose is good for the gander!"
"The goose has caused him more damage than the gander ever can, if you know what I mean."
"If I recall correctly the punishee incarcerated many money launderers in the Ritz Carlton and..."
"Enough; don't be facetious. Anyway I heard that The Khan expressed anger at Asad Umar's performance recently."
"The television channels who ran that report backtracked."
"Backtracking because one has no proof as none of those present would say it publicly or backtracking because the report is patently false are two different things."
"OK my friend, but the fault is in The Khan's selection process, I mean the skill set required to deal with one company, however large, is different from what is required to deal with the entire economy."
"What about on the job training?"
"Yes there is on the job training but a word of caution: some reckon they are masters of all they survey, Dar sahib for example..."
"Does he still think that?"
"I am sure and he is blaming his successor, no not Umar but Miftah Ismail for messing up his great Statistical Machinery which always showed good data and not..."
"Don't be facetious besides Ismail is the defender of the PML-N flawed policies and..."
"When the mice is away, the cat is at play and as the PML-N, courtesy Umar, a cat maybe smaller than the lion but it certainly is more astute."
