"I heard many a profound statement last week."
"There was much damage control after the President's speech on the second death anniversary of Benazir Bhutto. His critics were taking one meaning and his supporters minimising his threats and his defiant tone by saying that he was talking as a bereaved husband more than as a president."
"Right but I was not referring to those speeches. What I was referring to was the reference made by the President in an interview on a private channel by a very kind anchor."
"What reference?"
"Well the profound reference was to a much loved nursery rhyme - much loved by the President that is. This was the second time I heard him refer to the nursery rhyme."
"What do you mean?"
"He referred to Humpty Dumpty who reportedly sat on a wall."
"Reportedly?"
"Well I wasn't there was I? And I believe the President may have been there as this is the second time he made mention of Mr Dumpty."
"Don't be facetious."
"The President's Humpty Dumpty reference was, according to my limited understanding of the nursery rhyme, and the fact that unlike him I am not a student of history, was to Afghanistan - see all the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty Dumpty together again..."
"So essentially he is saying America, UK and all the other allies eat your heart out in Afghanistan."
"Who knows why our President quotes nursery rhymes. One question: why doesn't he quote Mary had a little and...And everywhere that Mary went..."
"Mary doesn't have a little lamb in this country; Mary has drones here and..."
"Don't be facetious. Didn't you hear what the Prime Minister said? That you must not make fun of the President or the Prime Minister as it simply undermines their authority."
"Correct, but maybe the Prime Minister should recall what the press did to Tony Blair - they drew cartoons of him as Bush's poodle. See you have to take the good with the bad when you are in politics. Not only the good."
"I agree, but our politicians love the good publicity but the moment the press does not agree with their version then viola! They claim victimisation."
