NUTSHELL

Doubting Thomases

 

The sec who has the name of the most famous batsman of yesteryear from Down Under as his first name held his birthday party at the Oh-Boy-roy, two days after the court that is supreme shot down the 19th amendment.

Among the invitees was the eternal loser in Lankan politics — the clown prince. The man was in a great mood thinking the government would fall soon and he would finally become someone and was doing the rounds repeating a joke. The clown boomed, four Thomians have got together and screwed a royalist. He was referring to the four legal eagles who drafted the 19th amendment, Mara Panay, the man who defends the country, Gee El the professori, Chokka Boy, and the Attorney that is General. And a little birdie at the do, whispers there was a twinge of envy in his voice given the man’s tendencies obviously preferring to be the Royalist at the receiving end of the four Thomases! Chee Kay!

 

THEATRICS 

 

The Pee Em, Ra Kneel was none too pleased at being accused of using the movie theatre Satellite built for herself at TT to watch movies with her pals. He had to buy his own home movie system because Satellite had taken the cinema equipment with her.

The only thing she left behind was the pool and that too only because it could not be carried away, the Pee Em was heard lamenting. And adding for good measure, the man said given the Pee A’s record he won’t take a dip in that one for being bathed in mud. Tch tch!

 

Blooming Flowers 

 

Peace talks can be tiring and in an effort not to say too much sometimes one can put the foot in the mouth to stay out of hot water. When a wild ass asked the one who is reforming the economy what happened at the peace talks, he claimed that he fell asleep during the talks.

Not put off by that, the wild ass wanted to know what was on the next day. Pat came the reply. “ No idea. I came here to look at orchids”. May a thousand flowers bloom seems to be the man’s philosophy what!

 

Pillow talk

 

Green eyed opposition politicos are crying foul, alleging that pillow talk has resulted in the fair Sureni being appointed as working director over the silver screen. “Yati thala pahasukam dila” they mutter, angrily.

Sureni was recently spotted in the house by the Diyawanna, buttonholing politicos of the green kind.  Strangely, Rohit Boggels took great pains to avoid the fair damsel, ducking hastily when he spied her.

 

hearts on fire

 

Boggel’s troubles are not over. The subject of jealous love, a bird who loaned the man one million smackers for his election campaign is the latest victim after Boggel’s wife screamed abuse, hinting the lady and her husband are engaged in an affair of the heart.

The accused is furious, alleging this is the thanks she gets for all the support she lent Rohit.

Sniff, sniff...
