Partly Facetious: The DD years!

"Remember the DD years."

"I don't know what you mean by the DD years!"

"Disastrous Dar years."

"Well, if you give an accountant the job of an economist then what else can you expect?!"

"Ah and there you have it in this LVP - Land of the Very Pure."

"Don't be facetious, I love my country and don't you be facetious about it."

"Hey all I meant was what if in LVP economists act like accountants."

"When you get Brown Sahibs, remember the Brown Sahibs during The Khan's cricketing years, to head your economic team while you yourself have gone native..."

"Don't get personal, I reckon The Khan is the only chief executive we have had who actually wears the Watto Dress even when he goes abroad, I mean none of the military dictators, none of the civilian heads of government, did that."

"So same o same o."

"If you get new wine, yet another IMF programme , and try to put it in an old bottle and sell it then the result would be...be..."

"Cheating the buyer who would know he has been duped as soon as he opens the bottle. But then the one actually putting the new wine in the old bottle is the guilty party."

"Agreed, but the cat will out of the bag only if and when The Khan opens the bottle."
