"Locusts attacked Sindh and lo and behold then entered south Punjab, which is already one of the poorest areas in the province and..."

"Sindh Chief Minister said that his government is vigilant and..."

"He did say the province had only one plane to spray the affected areas."

"Indeed, but anyway with Wasim Akram Plus sitting in Lahore I have no doubt that he will deal with the locust attack in South Punjab."

"How?"

"He will visit the area without protocol and direct the relevant people to prepare a report in 24 hours."

"Without any protocol?! Then how will he get there and who will listen to him?"

"His face is well known in the country - all of The Khan's merry men are frequently on television including those who read out only prepared speeches. Let me remind you that the only one in The Khan's inner circle who can mingle in the crowd unrecognized is his Third Wife, his previous two wives are also very well known and would be easily recognized by the public..."

"What's your point?"

"My point is that the locusts have attacked parts of this country with devastating effect on crops I would assume; stray dogs are roaming free in Sindh..."

"It's that dratted Sindh government I say..."

"Excuse me, but the stray dogs are also roaming free in Islamabad, and this too in Blue Area including the constitution avenue and..."

"Hey, it's the NGOs who have stayed any directive to get rid of the strays - they say CDA should provide the dogs shelter..."

"And the money will come from?"

"Who knows, anyway this is the first time in the country's history that so many people have died due to extreme cold - I mean we are used to floods during the monsoon and..."

"What are you saying?"

"I am not a doomsayer..."

"Then you are almost certainly a PML-N or PPP supporter...or wait a Maulana supporter?!"

"Don't be facetious."
