Partly Facetious: Life is all about takers

"I just don't like any of the takers."
"Life is all about takers; parents take from their children, even if it be intangibles like respect and love and if dad or mum is in politics, then 100 percent loyalty and in return a child is the heir, undisputed heir and..."
"Given different schools of Islamic jurisprudence a male and female have different inheritance then there are some schools of Islamic jurisprudence that give preference to a brother as the heir. And I will stop here because you have distracted me once again. When I said I don't like any takers I meant the caretakers. We have a prime minister who reportedly has refused to allow his caretaker cabinet to take any decision even if it was required on an emergent basis. So my friend, the economic indicators are a lot worse today than when the caretakers assumed power. Then some appointment decisions are so blatantly flawed, placing the head of Federal Board of Revenue, an Ishaq Dar loyalist, as head of the Statistics Division was a decision that would guarantee data manipulation remained a feature of decision-making..."
"Agreed, there are some cabinet members who are even more useless than the ones who are not allowed to take any decisions that are urgently required..."
"Indeed, but when I said I don't like takers I actually was referring to undertakers."
"Don't be facetious - there are no undertakers in our power corridors today!"
"Well, if the losers are to be believed the undertakers are active and ensuring a slow death to some parties..."
"That's funny, you know because two parties who we thought required the services of an undertaker have become the king makers - yes I am referring to MQM-P and PML-Q - then there are the independents..."
"Neither party nor any independent has acted against past practice. They all went where their say in key decisions will be more than is merited by their strength in parliament."
"Sheikh Rashid being heavier than... than 10 independents?"
"More like 20 members of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf core committee."
"Ha ha, that's right, but I would define undertakers as people like Mushahid Hussain who think they are leaving a party that is on the out and out, but then viola events prove otherwise."
"That is funny, Mushahid is an undertaker who reckons he made the right move in relocating near a house where deaths were anticipated due to illness but then realizes that four died near his previous residence."
