"Firdous Ashiq Awan says that when the notification giving her Chauhan's portfolio was made public it was akin to a cannon ball let lose on the opposition...."

"I don't think she was referring to the tonnage that the two carry...."

"Dont you be facetious."

''Sorry do you want me to say that she replaced Chauhan because his projections of what the opposition was upto were as off....as....as...why as Donald Trump's seem to have been..."

"But Trump has opted to launch a legal challenge while Chauhan is now the provincial minister for jails...and he thanked The Khan and the Buzz for giving him a chance to make his projections as information minister come true."

"You are being facetious arent you. "

"You seem to be in a very facetious mood today."

"Anyway I can say with certainty that The Khan's first two wives would not support the appointment of these two men."

"What about Firdous Ashiq Awan?"

''She is a politician through and through - I would imagine she would have been able to get in their good books too."

"A politician who did not win the elections and..."

"Do you think that comment even merits a response. Think before you say anything."

"Hmmmmm."

''Anyway Firdous Ashiq Awan said that when she was apponted the opposition felt a cannon ball had been fired...."

''Ëxcuse me but do they still have canons...."

"There is one in Lahore - on a major thoroughfare - I mean its not for firing but what would you have her say? That she is a grenade or a kalashnikov or a B-52 bomber or....."

''Hey you gotta move with the times...."
