Partly Facetious: not so cheap as McDonalds!

"So tell me again how this terrorist escaped."
Published December 24, 2007

"So tell me again how this terrorist escaped."
"He was in the car with his uncle who fed McDonalds to the cops whose car he was actually supposed to be in."
"OK I am completely lost."
"See when a prisoner goes to court he is led there in a police van and after the court hearing he is brought back to prison in the police van."
"OK."
"The prisoner's uncle requested the police escort to let his nephew sit in his car as it was more comfortable."
"That being the priority of the police escort - the comfort of the prisoner."
"Well, our police does aim to please, given sufficient incentive."
"And a McDonald is sufficient incentive!"
"Hey, don't take a McDonald lightly. I mean a McDonald in the US may be for the poor but in Pakistan it is the rich and the powerful who can afford it."
"Ah yes, of course."
"So the uncle bought McDonalds for the prisoner and the police; and as the police were eating the nephew and uncle disappeared."
"Well, the story is that the uncle didn't disappear and the police, in their most efficient mode, have arrested the culprit."
"Ah, so he is again in police custody?"
"Again?"
"Well, that's what you said."
"No I said the culprit was arrested and the culprit was the uncle."
"So the terrorist escaped..."
"Yes and the man who was instrumental in his escape has been arrested."
"Where was the uncle arrested from?"
"His home."
"Ah yes, and what happened to the McDonald loving police?"
"They have been arrested as well."
"I can only hope that they got more than a McDonald."
"I would too, after all we have to keep our reputation as being not that cheap."
