"So can the Sharifs do anything that can be supported by the Khan?"
"My off the cuff opinion is no. I mean I have it on good authority that the Khan doesn't even like the Brothers' Mian haircut."
"You are being facetious."
"What makes you say that?"
"The Mians are bald and they don't get haircuts, they get hair implants."
"Oh, so what's the big deal? The Khan doesn't like their hair implants."
"Hey, there are two distinct groups of professionals who undertake these two activities. A hair cut is given by someone sitting on the side of a road as well as a pricey stylist while hair implants are done by a qualified person."
"Would you back off - we each go to get a service based on our needs. The Khan needs a stylist while the Sharif's need a hair implanter."
"And you must give credit to Ishaq Dar who taxes the two, talk of equity in our tax system."
"Two things my friend - first it's not Dar but the provincial governments that tax services - remember the constitution gives the provinces the right to tax services, and secondly Mian brothers do not engage in hair transplants in Pakistan or so I understand and undertake this activity in the UK while on a semi private visit."
"Two things from my side too - Dar can tax these services and call the tax withholding tax and two I am going to take exception if you are implying that the tax payers are paying for Mian sahib's hair implants!"
"Take all the exception you want, but the plane parking fees are paid for by the exchequer..."
"Oh shush - can't you even let the overworked prime minister take a little detour while on foreign trips!"
"Overworked!"
"Yes, without him there are no decisions taken, major or otherwise, I ask you how many times has his B team - all but family - said they are waiting for his return before taking a decision?"
"That's true."
