An ordeal
Those who've been involved with the Taliban talks speak of one memorable character, aka Sexy Sammy of Sandwich fame. They say it's a herculean task to embrace the guy – a ritual prerequisite of greeting. Apparently, the odour is unmissable and to embrace him is a real ordeal.
Naïve notions
This is a chapter from Ripley's "Believe It Or Not". We hear the Invisible Soldiers Inc, obsessed as they are with preventing Mush from being indicted, had thought up a plan to save his skin. The naïve notion went like this: Mush would sit up in his hospital room, in front of TV cameras, and apologise to the nation. What for? No mention. Then the President would issue a pre-emptive pardon and off Mush would go, into permanent exile. The Man of Steel was in the dark of course, and prior to stitching it all up, the boys broke the news to Mush who promptly squared his shoulders and said "No"! So much for that.
Punching bags
The Lahore police went in pursuit of one Tahir and finally tracked him down on a busy road. Having flagged him down, four policemen jumped out of their vehicle and made to arrest him. What they didn’t know was that Tahir was a kick-boxer who punched the policemen to a pulp. He later got off on bail.
