Tit for tat
Reliable sources say that the recent visit of the Ayatollah to Isloo wasn’t the hunky-dory trip it appeared from the outside. And the reason for that was that the etiquette and decorum normally reserved for an important head of state was said to be missing in this case. We hear the Ayatollah thought he deserved better.
On the other hand, the same sources have revealed that when General Bobby and The Man of Steel visited Teheran earlier, they had to wait for a considerable period prior to their meeting with the Ayatollah, and this fact weighed in when the latter made his return visit to Isloo.
Sadly, this isn’t a case of simple tit-for-tat. The Ayatollahs are miffed with Pakistan for its closeness to Al-King of the Land of Sand. The latter are miffed with Pakistan for their overtures to the Ayatollahs. And we are miffed with the Ayatollahs for refusing to forsake the Lalas.
Entranced
Television viewers may have noticed the entranced appearances of some of the young men in Isloo’s D Chowk a couple of days ago, their eyes ablaze with fervor, swaying to the rhythm of their demands, as if hypnotizing themselves in preparation for a violent drop scene. A reporter on the spot has revealed that when the maulanas were calling off the protest, and urging everyone to go home peacefully, these young men came out of their trance and hurled abuse at their leaders for “caving in” to the government’s pressure. A small minority, we hear, had come to D Chowk prepared for “martyrdom” and were sorely disappointed when they were thwarted.
