Partly Facetious: of an unrepentant zoo-keeper

"So now a Fatwa against Nilofer Bakhtiar."
"Yes, apparently she was seen in a compromising pose."
"What? She was shaking some guy's hand?"
"No, she wanted to learn to parachute and was..."
"Un-Islamic that."
"What? To learn how to parachute!"
"Don't be facetious."
"But it seems that it was the learning which caused the Fatwa."
"She was seen in a compromising position as I said earlier."
"That was a position that is necessary for a learner unless he or she wants to get on the job training if you know what I mean. In this country you get on the job training for being a bureaucrat, for being a Cabinet minister, even for a prime minister..."
"The job of the prime minister always requires on the job training - see their terms of reference vary with whether the president can excise the eighth amendment or not."
"I said don't be facetious. But anyway going back to Ms Bakhtiar in parachuting on the job training could mean death."
"Un-Islamic that."
"I give up."
"And the stray dogs killed 28 peacocks."
"What are you referring to?"
"To stray dogs and peacocks."
"Are you referring to the judiciary-Musharraf clash?"
"No, I am referring to stray dogs and peacocks."
"I don't know of any place but the zoo where there would be 28 peacocks."
"That's precisely where they were. A zookeeper in Lahore left the door open."
"Did he resign?"
"No, because this time he knew his resignation would be accepted."
"You will get into trouble you know."
"Aren't we all in trouble these days?"
"That's true."
