Mush, Bush and Blair..!
I'm serious; it's a big problem in
Pakistan, deciding what to do with Mush! Its not that you close your
eyes, open it and Mush has disappeared, he's still there, larger than
life, in every photo, news mag, newspaper and TV channel. Mush just
won't go away.
"They say, soldiers never die they only
fade away, but this man isn't doing any fading, waning or withering
away!" said a frustrated former judge not willing to be named.
“We just can't send a president away
like that!" said a Nawaz Shariff party worker, "we thought we'd ask
him if he'd like to go to Turkey; in his book he says he likes the
place, but he said no very emphatically!"
"Why?" asked another worker of the same
party a little puzzled, "What's wrong with Turkey?"
"Says it reminds him of America!"
"America?"
"Yeah they have turkey for Thanksgiving
and Mushy won't have any of it!"
"He's angry with America?"
"Very!"
"What did they do to him?"
"Its what they did to his special
friend!"
"Bush?"
"Yep, says they treated a good man
badly!"
"What about London?"
"Hates the English!"
"Because of what they did to Blair?"
"Yep!"
"Maybe it would be good to send all
three away, somewhere together!"
"Hey!" said the Nawaz Shariff party
worker, "that sounds like a good idea, why don't you tell that to the
boss!"
"Nawaz Shariff?"
"No, no Mush, he's still in charge!
Come on, there he is looks a bit strange without his uniform but tell
him what you just told me!"
"Sir why don't you, Bush and Blair go
somewhere together?"
"Excellent idea!" said Mush, "in fact
the last time we three holidayed together we had plenty of fun!"
"Fishing?"
"No hide and seek!"
"You three played hide and seek?"
"Yes, I would hide Osama in my back
yard, and make those two search for him."
"Did they?"
"No! But we could start playing the
same game again; Osama's getting bored!"
"Bored?"
"He's been hiding in my backyard with
nobody looking for him and now if he's found by them there's nothing
they will do!"
"So where would you like to stay with
the two of them sir?"
"In Pakistan of course, where else can
one hide Osama?"
