"I was amazed to see a photograph of Rehman Malik in conversation with Nawaz Sharif and the latter appeared to be actually listening to him."
"Why are you amazed? Did their sitting next to each other though on separate chairs amaze you?"
"Well partly, I mean Nawaz Sharif is rather conscious of protocol and need I add if he does meet with any jiyala then it has to be the head honcho himself. Besides Malik has done nothing but threaten the Sharifs with revelations of their past indiscretions to put it mildly if they say even one word against the PPP leadership."
"Right, but that has not stopped PML (N) from bad mouthing the PPP leadership and its performance and need I add the time has never been right or appropriate for Malik to make his revelations yet and we are nearly at the end of the PPP term."
"Did you note that Nawaz Sharif had his hands firmly in his air space to ensure that they do not touch Malik's even by mistake?"
"I guess Nawaz Sharif also saw Malik blowing his nose on the ground and using his hands while the handkerchief came out to just wipe the hands later."
"I hereby challenge anyone to shake the hand of our Interior Minister."
"Please stop, it's not fair."
"What do you mean?"
"Foreigners who have not seen Malik in his nose-blowing action would shake his hand..."
"I would urge all embassies to send a summary of the incident to ensure..."
"Don't be facetious, but anyway the only ones who would be compelled to shake his hand would be his junior staff - upon pain of demotions and being sent to the boondocks."
"Ah yes, the bureaucrats but they mustn't despair - I have it on good authority that the Prime Minister has directed all bureaucrats who shake his hand a 50 percent pay raise yet again."
"I have a better idea: I hereby urge the President to compel all those who want a party ticket to publicly shake Malik's hand."
"I agree that will show loyalty to the party as nothing else will."
