"It was mission accomplished."
"I am not sure what you are referring to but if you recall when George Bush had the banner claiming mission accomplished the mission was anything but accomplished. So the two words have come to mean the opposite of what they claim. Now do you want to revisit your choice of words?"
"Nope and what I am referring to is the return of not the prodigal or the reckless but its antithesis - the cautious."
"I get it - you are referring to Nawaz Sharif's lawyer!"
"Right, the fifth or the sixth lawyer he employed since the Panama papers case began."
"Indeed so obviously not Nawaz Sharif's first choice."
"Right again but why wasn't his mission accomplished? I mean wasn't his mission in drafting a three to four page submission seeking to withdraw from representing Nawaz Sharif because he was unwilling to work on Saturday and Sunday as per the apex court directives accomplished! He got a delay of little over a week....the goal he has been given from his client, according to rumours, is to delay the verdict till after the elections so that Maryam Nawaz can contest from PML-N safe seats and, if and when convicted, she can say that space aliens, read the establishment, did not respect the votes."
"I don't cotton to their use of 'space aliens' instead of establishment or the army."
"Really! That's what you want to zero in on after all I said!"
"Yes, I am a big fan of Star Trek's Mister Spock, the Vulcan, and then there is Star Wars Luke Sky Walker and...."
"Nawaz Sharif is not Mister Spock, who was very bright, or Luke Sky Walker, who was physically fit!"
"Agreed, he is the Supreme Leader Snoke..."
"Good heavens Snoke was the leader of a military junta that wanted to rule the galaxy, so Nawaz Sharif is hardly likely to be Supreme Leader Snoke. Even if he wanted that role the army does not allow lateral entrants!"
"Ha ha but anyway I reckon an amendment is in order with respect to the Star War franchise - let Supreme Leader Snoke be elected and technically in charge of the military and..."
"I hate to tell you but Snoke was killed in the last Star War film I saw."
"He must be resurrected - Star War franchise: give respect to the vote, give respect to the vote..."
"Oh for Pete's sake!"
