Partly Facetious: Someone hiding in the bushes

10 Aug, 2019

"Maryam Nawaz is in again..."
"Like a revolving door, in and out, in and out..."
"Well, I have a theory..."
"Oh dear God, here comes another conspiracy theory!"
"Well, I heard and I didn't hear it from one person but many, many people who should know..."
"The problem with our people is that no one, but no one, knows how to keep a secret and if two friends get together and make a secret plan, chances of it getting out are almost 76 percent..."
"76 is an odd number, how did you reach it?"
"Well, first of all, there is a strong possibility that there is someone hiding in the bushes under the window where the two friends are talking and so the secret gets out - that I reckon is around 75 percent probability."
"What if the two friends are in an air tight air conditioned room?"
"Like the jail the Father and Daughter and the Holy Ghost are in?"
"The Holy Ghost is not Rana Sanaullah because he is in a non-air-conditioned..."
"Indeed, and I reckon if Khawaja Asif goes behind bars, he won't have an air-conditioner either - these gentlemen did a number on The Khan..."
"Hey, The Khan just wants the money they stole to be brought back, there is nothing personal..."
"Right, anyway going back to 75 percent in an air-conditioned room I reckon one of the friends may decide to reveal the secret and that too accounts for 75 percent of the possibility of the secret getting out."
"But where does Maryam Nawaz..."
"Maryam Nawaz so I have been told by many people was part of a deal where she had a get out of jail card but that was subject to her keeping quiet, a deal she adhered to in letter and spirit till her family wanted to renegotiate the deal that would now allow her dad to leave the country for medical reasons and to strengthen the family's hand Maryam Nawaz broke her vow of silence and viola! She is back in jail."
"That's so speculative, I mean..."
"Right and that where the seventy sixth percent comes in - the fact that a deal maybe reneged..."
"I would say the probability of that is more than one percent - I mean the Sharifs don't abide by the deals they make, last time too the..."
"One percent is all that I will give because the deal makers on this side change and reckon they will ensure the deal is not reneged on like in the past and...and....that accounts for MN back in jail!"
