Partly Facetious: We all need comic relief

"I love to watch Laurel and Hardy?"
"The tall thin comedian, with the short fat comedian?"
"Yes."
"I am ashamed of you! The country is going through such hell what with our economy and our security and all and while I do understand that we all need comic relief yet with our Prime Minister in the US to talk to Obama and need I add the appointment was not easy to get and..."
"Well, the pictures emanating from the Prime Minister's visit made me think of Laurel and Hardy. Kerry and Obama with our leaders are pictures that remind me of Laurel and Hardy.
"Sorry?"
"The official Americans are so tall and thin and let's be honest our leader for all their evening constitutional walks are not slender any more...."
"Oye, our political elite have always loved food, good Pakistani food, now if they loved good Western food then maybe just maybe they could have remained slender but see the Pakistani food is rather fattening and if you eat three times a day then there is no way there will be no weight gain. However long you walk. Now if we would only begin the tradition of jogging, like US Presidents, then perhaps..."
"Don't be silly, jogging is simply not in our political culture. You need a tsunami to change our political culture. But anyway isn't it always the thin one that has the upper hand in Laurel and Hardy? Yes, but it is the fat one that bashes the thin one. And the Americans no doubt have the upper hand so..."
"I have a theory?"
"You are good at conspiracy theories?"
"Well, it's not a conspiracy theory, it's just a theory. The reason why Nawaz Sharif always takes Dar with him on foreign tours, with his begging bowl, (while saying he seeks trade and not aid), rather than Chaudhry Nisar Ali (given that the West in general and the US in particular are more focused on our security situation) is precisely because with Chaudhry Sahib the Laurel and Hardy syndrome may emerge while no such thing is likely in Dar's case."
"But Sartaj Aziz is also slim..."
"Ah, but he is not Nawaz Sharif's age group."
"You are being facetious today."
