Partly Facetious: Casino a good food
"Do you know the best food place in town?"
"Which town?"
"The best food place in Australia!"
"Hey, Australia is a big country, a continent in itself, so which town are you talking about?"
"Don't get technical with me. You know what I am referring to."
"No, honestly I don't. I mean I know that the Aussie head of government, Abbott, has put his foot in his mouth when he offered the Indonesians around one billion dollars, not very diplomatically couched as humanitarian assistance, if the Indonesian president stays the execution order against two Aussies who were caught trafficking drugs."
"Oh dear, perhaps we should begin catching drug traffickers and make some money out of it."
"Excuse me, but you know the people of Indonesia were so angered that they have begun collecting money to, some say, enable the government to pay off the Aussies all the outstanding loans and..."
"I know what Dar sahib would say to that?"
"Where does he come in?"
"I meant if the Aussies agreed to pay us one billion dollars for catching Aussie drug dealers and then threatening to execute them, Dar sahib would have said that it's a gift from a friendly country."
"Oh, you are being facetious. Besides Raymond Davis was not Australian and Dar sahib was not in power at the time."
"Hey, back off will you! You can't mention a friendly country's gift."
"But..."
"There is no but, a gift is a gift is a gift, anyway when I mentioned the best food place in Aussieland I was referring to the choice by our chief selector, cricket selector, and he said that he had gone to eat at the casino. Now I am not sure what the casino had in the way of food but I would imagine not as good as a dedicated food restaurant."
"Don't be silly, a man who selected such an outstanding team surely knows how to select a good food place - whether it's in a casino, or a restaurant or a hotel or indeed a roadside stall."
"I give up."
