PARTLY FACETIOUS: An exclusive club!

11 Mar, 2017

"I have it on very good authority that our First Daughter has decided to set up an exclusive, and I mean a very exclusive, club."
"I don't think so, she has a set of carefully selected individuals who are doing a stellar job in dismissing everything The Khan or his party says but there is no exclusivity..."
"Agreed, that none of the members of this so called exclusive club are kind of exclusive, I mean there has been bar hopping if you will and..."
"Bar hopping! Bar hopping! Where the hell do you think you are resident? We are the Islamic Republic of Pakistan where no Muslim can legally access alcohol at all, I don't know of any bars anywhere in the country and..."
"Calm down, will you? Let me take some of your own words and highlight facts. I am using the phrase bar hopping as the English version of lotaism - you know going from one party in power to another party in power... then you say no Muslim can legally access alcohol in Pakistan and speaking of legal let me ask you a few questions: is it legal for beautiful couriers like Ayyan Ali to take millions out of this country and not be awarded any punishment?"
"Hey, not being able to leave the country for years..."
"Don't be facetious though I grant you beauty can always trump legality if you know what I mean."
"Only beauty and not the beast?"
"Hey, wash your mouth with soap.....who are you calling a beast?"
"I was merely reminded of the children's story Beauty and the Beast... anyway I apologise if it has caused anger in any circles. But, let me ask you is child labour legal in this country and has anything been done to implement the relevant laws? Is tax avoidance legal?"
"Well, 2014 tax amnesty scheme urged those with black money to whiten it through investment and the relevant order states that this may be used to avoid taxes."
"Ah yes... anyway enough I hear Maryam Nawaz has decided to invite Ivanka Trump to become an honorary member of the First Daughter's club."
"Two things my friend - first, the United States (US) FD has been making her own money for a long while, I mean she was first a model and now a successful business woman, unlike our FD and second the US FD's husband is an advisor to the President while our First Husband is just an MNA with no advisory role I hear."
"I see, so just a two member club you reckon?"
"Hey, this is not the ECO you know which, need I add, has been a non-starter for decades. With Ivanka Trump on one end of the table and Maryam Nawaz on the other...notice both use their father's name and not their husband's...."
"There is a difference. Ivanka uses her father's last name while Maryam uses her father's first name and not the family name as her last name and..."
"Because you idiot, the party is PML-N as in Nawaz not Sharif, besides there are so many in the political arena with Sharif as their last names and besides our FD is her father's daughter: I mean Mian sahib is also an exclusive kind of guy, surrounds himself with a few and..."
"Those few are doing a bad job if you ask me..."
"He ain't asking you dumb ass."
"That's certainly true... anyway, who says anything challenging the policies of his handful of advisors are jealous or anti-Pakistan."
"Yep, that's about it."
