“The case of the Two Tarars requires a revisit.” “The two Tarars? Reminds me of the two British comedians who had a rather funny programme on BBC titled The Two Ronnies aired from 1971 to 1987 – Ronnie Corbett and Ronnie Barker…”
“That kinda dates you too.”

“How dare you! Thinking out of the box in the PML-N is not allowed; thank you very much. You are engaged in sedition and off with your head.”
