Partly Facetious: Slugging is only verbal and not physical

"Chaudhry Pervez Elahi says the Sharifs don't like dirty clothes."
"Well, neither do I, and let me inform the Chaudhry that he must focus on personal hygiene and our poor need to be educated in hygiene for it is hygiene alone that can reduce a family's outlay on health and let's be honest, clean clothes is a basic hygiene requirement..."
"If you say hygiene once more I am going to slug you one."
"What's this? You are planning to join politics?"
"In politics, slugging is only verbal and not physical."
"Not in our provincial assemblies."
"OK, but that is rare and far between. Anyway you know very well that the Chaudhry meant that the Sharifs don't like to engage in farm labour where one's clothes do get dirty."
"OK, that maybe true but I have never seen any member of the Chaudhry family with dirty clothes either."
"Don't take things literally; the Chaudhrys have some farm interests while the Sharifs do not have them."
"Farm interests mean no tax on their income and the Chaudharys borrowed huge sums for their industrial ventures and if I recall correctly there was the element of non payment of past loans and..."
"Musharraf ordered those cleared I think, I mean he did deliver for his people."
"You are just playing politics, if you can laud the performance of President Zardari as the longest serving civilian president and a man who ensured that a civilian government was not toppled before it completed its tenure then you must laud Chaudhary Pervez Elahi. Which family I ask you has had a Prime Minister and a Deputy Prime Minister and at a time when its members were leaving it in droves."
"Deputy prime minister was created to lure the Qatil league..."
"It's not to reason, why it's just to state that it took place."
"Right, but there is one action taken by Pervez Elahi that PML (N) should support namely ensuring that the child beggars are picked up whenever any one calls a certain number and provided education and training and if they wish to go with their families then to give a warning that if caught begging again they would not be returned to their families."
"Ah yes, a mature democracy as I always maintain is a slow process..."
