Partly Facetious: Too many cooks spoil the broth

18 Jul, 2017

"You know what a pressure cooker is?"
"Of course I do, it's supposed to decrease cooking time, right?"
"Right, that's one way to look at it, but what I was referring to, is that if pressure builds up in the cooker you have to release it otherwise it can blow up the cook."
"Whatever do you mean? Oh, I get it. You are referring to our Prime Minister as the cook and the pressure courtesy the conclusions drawn by the Joint Investigation Team based on those international conspirators, you know those dratted people in the Ministry of Justice UAE and the Attorney General of the British Virgin Islands who is also a member of the Cabinet and the Khan who is a bad man and a liar and a..."
"Ha, ha, ha, precisely, so my suggestion to the cook is that..."
"That too many cooks spoil the broth? I am referring to the lack of consistency in the evidence of those firmly on the side of the First Family and that includes one samdhi, a relationship between two men whose children are married to each other, never heard of the other one though the First Daughter has been married for decades, then the change in the team of lawyers, I don't know is this the fifth one or the sixth one?"
"The current one I hear owes a lot to the Sharifs - one was the Advocate General of Punjab at Sharif Time..."
"Sharif Time? That's a good one".
"There is Sharif Time, there was Zardari Time and Musharraf Time and..."
"Hey, I got it the first time."
"Are you a Dar?"
"Don't be facetious, anyway if Mian sahib releases the pressure in the cooker by resigning then you know all this pressure will cease overnight and he can also continue to rule like Zardari sahib did."
"But he doesn't want anyone other than a member of the First Family, blood member, to rule otherwise people get ideas you know."
"Mixtures are more potent you know."
"I don't get it."
"You have the Bhutto Zardaris why not the Sharif Dars?"
"Oh, you are so bad."
