Partly Facetious: 'Line of Caginess'

ARTICLE: "Our LoC is truly controversial."

"Indeed the Line of Control between India and Pakistan is being bombarded by India and..."

"Yeah, yeah, but when I said LoC I meant Line of Caginess..."

"What does caginess mean?"

"I see you went to the same school as The Buzz with the school not having any electricity, or teaching English or..."

"Hey we are Pakistani Muslims and English is not our national language."

"Hey you Khanzadehs are so dense in your imitation - look at The Khan! He wears Pakistani but does not speak Pakistani especially when talking to foreigners, he refers to SOPs with respect to Corona and that's a mouthful in English and..."

"That's right and even in the United Nations he spoke in English and need I add United Nations is an entity where translators abound...."

"That's right anyway caginess means evasiveness and the Maryam Nawaz incident outside NAB office Lahore has me baffled - I mean was it The former First Daughter or was it The Buzz support team, I mean who was attacking whom?"

"Yes and did you note the stones in neatly packed plastic bags which incidentally are against the law now - the bags not the stones...."

"Ha ha that's right, anyway my point is that there was no caginess from both camps, more like hurling accusations and insults and stones and..."

"OK so let's amend it - LoC is Line of Clobber..."

"OK. To trump Maryam Nawaz The Khan party unleashed the three stooges - we had Moe, who considers himself really smart, namely Chauhan, and lets be honest the statement about 10 lakh rupees and Maryam Nawaz agreeing to give one lakh to anyone who would throw a stone at her car and only 25000 rupees at everything else is...is...Larreyesque. Then we had Larry, Raja Basharat and somehow his demeanour does not give me any comfort level and last but not least we had Curly Joe who may not be fat but his comment on platelets would get a slap on the head from Moe I believe...."

"So who should The Khan have rolled out?"

"Yasmin Rashid who if you recall was to stand in the constituency that was chosen by Maryam Nawaz and our former First Daughter backed out for some mysterious reason...."

"The Foreign Minister spoke well in parliament on the incident....but one final observation - Shahbaz Sharif was not there...."

"True but the Maryam gang was there - we had Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Talal Chaudhary, the slapped Danyal Aziz, Mr Zubayr former Governor of Sindh, Perveen Rashid...sorry Pervez Rashid and only Abbassi is a member of parliament ...."

"Rana sahib was there and Rana sahib is Shabaz Sharif's man."

"As long as Mian sahib is on the scene...."
