The Liberators
The Rathu Sahodarayas have been cozying upto the likes
of Satellite, Mangy and the Clown Prince, but the camaraderie has not
impressed everyone, some even in the PA ranks. Now the spoil-sports
have come with a brand new meaning to the acronym JVP. Now it stands Janadhipathi
Vimukthi Peramuna. Sin no.
Whip Lash
But the Rathu Sahodarayas can be a naughty lot at
times. Wee-flower, the one from the courageous clan in a state of
pique has said that opposing types such as Mangy and Ma-hinder should
be whipped and brought to the House by the lake for failing to get the
Pee-A types to vote in the house.
The whip was left dangling for Mahinda, the chief opposing
one as well as Mangy, the chief opposing whip and the invitation saw
the dentist with the big mouth quip that Mangy might not decline it.
After all he might like a little
whipping by the Wee-flower. Cheeee.
Big Fish
Nelson, the ministering one from the ancient Kingdom of
Polonnaruwa took wing to the Big Apple. At the air port, the sniffing
canines took much interest in his luggage. So much so that the
security chaps wanted to
have a closer look. And behold what was in the bag, good old Maldive
fish. Plenty of it too.
The man had packed himself a suitcase full of the culinary
delights of home. Rather sadly, the entire delegation was left
smelling of umbalakada after the discovery. Oh well, no big
deal for a politician, what!
Crazy Thought
At the council that is security, Satellite was in her
fighting boots. Turning towards Ti-luck, the defensive one, the lady
charged that Ma-lik and the defensive one had approached Da Mu,
the Thalagoya from Anamaduwa and told him that his support for
the 19th Amendment would see all cases against him dropped.
In a moment of indiscretion, the defensive one lost the cool
and shot back “You are mad.” But quickly regained himself and
apologised knowing how sensitive the lady is on that score. But then
again the pun would not have been lost on the good lady. After all, in
the case of the defensive one, a slip of the tongue is no fault of the
brain, eh!
Mistaken Identity
Then again Satellite can be absent minded. When the cup-board
met, she took 45 minutes to decry a proposal by Karu, the Victory Sun
on entering into a joint venture to utilise the idling resources at
the Sapugaskanda oil tanks.
All the efforts of Ra-kneel, Mahinda the one who labours and
Karu himself could not quieten the lady’s wrath.
Finally, Ti-luck the defensive one had to intervene and
explain the subject, only to realise that all the while angry
Satellite had been reading off the wrong cabinet paper. Oh gosh!
Tongue In Cheek
Karu himself could be embarrassingly gallant at times. While
she was ranting on, Satellite remarked that she was not opposing the
proposal just for the sake of opposing , but that she wanted to make a
point that she goes through everything.
She was peeved that some ministering angels were criticising
her that she was acting without reason. Up went Karu defending himself
that he never said such bad things and had in fact forwarded the
proposals for Satellite’s approval.
Such condescending remarks were not to the liking of the one
who labours, who shot back that nothing was brought for Satellite’s
approval, rather it was for cabinet approval. So there!
