NUTSHELL

Deaf story

Ra-Kneel was in a jolly good mood last week when he attended the birthday bash of the Professori at the Paya that is Visum and moved around the tables making small talk.

And given the man's party mood, he was being witty as well and when one wild ass who the previous week was at Satellite's bash reminded him that she had claimed he ran behind her calling her akki, akki, Ra-kneel was not lost for words either.

"Oh," said Ra-kneel, "our Satellite has been short of hearing from a tender age and always got her 'A' s and 'K's mixed up." Chee! Chee!

 

Threatening talk

Talking of Professori's party, also among the top dogs were the one to whom nothing is foreign, Tyron the Appu and Charitha the Hot Garden from the ministry that doesn't finance.

And sidling upto Hot Garden, our Appu jokingly said it seems, the one that does not finance reacts only to threats as was the case with Ass Bee and A-Lick the Ash Temple who threatened to quit over a case of motor bicycles and he would like to do likewise.

"What's your problem?" asked the one that does not finance and Appu said that half his Ministry allocation has been cut and unless it is restored, he would also quit.

Thankful it was only a joke, Hot Garden said "consider it done." Now Appu is to hold the man to his word. Ha! Ha!

 

Trading places

Our Satellite as revealed last week was con-sulting all manner of soothsayers, kattadiyas and what have you in search of better times at the presidential abode and taking the predictions to heart as well.

And one word of advise was to shift the office Satellite operates from to another room for better vibes and shift she did.

Good ole Satellite has now moved to a smaller room way back in the presidential abode and is looking out for the good times to waft through the windows. And throwing a wet blanket on her enthusiasm was another soothsayer who said the good times will be a long time in coming.  Now Satellite is planning to move again. Sin no!

 

Cock fight

Given the infighting in the Pee-A that good times will be long in coming is not hard to believe either with Mangy telling the vernacular Lanka-deepa in a powwow that the Clown Prince must be dreaming if he thinks he is gonna be Pee-As candidate for the election that is presidential.

Clown Prince did not find Mangy's plain talk funny and getting on the buzzby gave the man a bellyful with Mangy giving as good as he got.

And the opposing one who leads, Ma-hinder the Raja is standing in the sidelines and laughing his guts out. But the joke in Green circles is that it is Ra-Kneel that will have the last laugh. Hmmm.

 

Sales promotion

We have all heard of the French Marie bread, cake and all that but what takes the cake in good ole Paradise is the cabinet of angels who have come up with a novel idea to meet the bumper crop of paddy.

The angels have now decreed that the em pees at the house of tunics on Diyawanna will no longer be given paan for their five rupee break feast but kiri bath instead to promote the rice sales.

And given the size of the tunics' bellies, not a bad idea either, what!

 

Food for thought

After Ra-kneel announced a bountiful of goodies for  the em-pees from September at the group meeting of the Greens, the tunics were all revving to go at the pee-see polls and in the house of tunics against the Pee-A and made their intentions clear when the very (no pun intended) night the Green man who likes to use the whip, Sam the man hosted the back-benchers for a party with Ra-kneel also in attendance at the hotel by the sea Galkissa way.

And the young Green turks in high spirits were boasting that they were waiting for the likes of Pee-A's New Village and Dee-lan to try their antics in the House to mete out good ole fashioned justice. Tch! Tch!
