Partly Facetious: 'OTT'?

"So what does The Khan reckon is OTT welcome to a delegation that has come bearing gifts..."
Published January 8, 2019

"So what does The Khan reckon is OTT welcome to a delegation that has come bearing gifts..."
"OTT?"
"Over The Top - or in other words, over and beyond expectations of a visiting dignitary, of the general public, or the...?"
"I get it, anyway I guess driving the car himself."
"Indeed, and what else?"
"Giving him a guard of honour!"
"Yep, and what else?"
"Giving him... hey, I just thought of something... what if the head of government is a woman? I mean what if Angela Merkel came a visiting?"
"Get The Buzz out! And before you ask I am referring to The Buzdar."
"Don't be facetious, the guy is not trained to be with strange women, and I hear he hasn't been alone in the same room even with Dr Yasmin Rashid so Madam Merkel is not gonna be honoured with his august presence."
"Don't be facetious, besides why would Dr Rashid want to be alone with The Buzz! She has a direct dial to the Prime Minister but anyway if Angela Merkel comes a calling what would The Khan do? I mean if he drives her then ... is gonna get suspicious and..."
"Oh shush, that's not what I wanted to point out to you with respect to the visit of the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi?"
"You asked what did the Khan consider as OTT welcome right?"
"Yes and..."
"Let me take a final guess? The food laid out for the Crown Prince was truly scrumptious I hear - not the usual Khan's biscuit and tea..."
"That's not what I meant. The khan took the Crown prince to the Prime Minister's House. So what happens if the House is turned into a University?"
"Ah I get it, then he will take them to Banigala?"
"And when he is no longer the head of government?"
"That The Khan ain't thinking of - see that's what happens to all those who become heads of government in this country - they never think they are ever gonna leave the seat of power."
"So the non status quo party takes less than five months to become a status quo party!"
"Ha ha, ha."
