Nutshell

Howzat!

Captain Cool was livid last week. Buzzing cricket board Prez Mohan, the Captain yelled how could you have sent that slimy schmuck Tee-langa to mark his presence at the exco - aren't  you ashamed?  To which the docile prez had replied "there was nothing I could do men, the blot has his own stooges at the exco and wangled it. Why not tell your Prez about it?"

And Captain Cool did just that. Sitting down breathing fire and brimstone he dashed of a fiery missive to Satty complaining bitterly that a suspected criminal who literally supped with the devil is now sitting pretty breaking bread with those white collared types at the exco no less. Hmph!

 

Thrills and spills

Remember our nut on ole Mangy taking flight to gay Paris with that 18 year old hunk? Well, the news raised many an eyebrow among Mangy's own ministerial angels and some of them got on the line to the Leading assess urging this rag to do a full expose on Mangy and his 18 year old hunk.

But we have opted to bow out - this itsy bitsy bit of news was worthy of only a nut and certainly does not warrant space whatever the juice maybe. If those angels want to settle any score with ole Mangy then they will have to look elsewhere - we Leading rags are certainly not going to oblige. No way boys - this one we shall do our way!

Wrong number

When Satty met with those teaching types and students she uttered many a gem. But the cracker was when she asked those lesser mortals if they knew how many countries there were in this rounded globe. A silence greeted her query and none including Tara the fee-male of educational fame was any the wiser when Satty quizzed her as well.

With a triumphant grin and roundly reprimanding all those present Satty announced - 196! Dear Oh dear! All this when the bally UN recognises only 191 and it is 193 only if the Vatican and Taiwan are included. One thing is for sure - this explains why Satty by her own admission said she was a poor maths student and needed tuition! Silly girl!

 

Outcast

And Satty's battle with Sri-pathee continues though Sri-pathee is in denial attempting to portray matters are on the mend. But it is not so - ole boy - ask us the Leading types!

At that all important meeting of the advisory council that is national Satty saw red when she spied sitting in the audience none other than that irritating blot Sri-pathee. Later, she fumed to her sec asking how that "pariah" came to be there and called for an inquiry pronto. Well, Well what can we say to ole Sripathee - it never rains but it pours ole boy eh?  Sniff! Sniff!

 

Dirty tricks

Those cops are certainly a dirty bunch. Ex police chief Indra on the eve of him saying goodbye took a swing at senior cops he said are corrupt and still within the force.

Indra had earmarked for himself a spanking new double cab to take home as is usual when the top cop bids his final goodbye. But lo and behold hardly had Indra taken a swipe at those khakied blokes whose paws his said are full of mud, the cab he had booked went missing minus some vital parts.

And now the bright new vehicle is kota uda! As for Indra? He has had to kiss his ownership to the four wheel - Goodbye!

 

Lost cause

This is the latest joke on the bloc. Big bad boy Saddam sitting in a US cell got down on his knees and began to pray. "Dear God, tell me when will George Bush lose the presidential election and be sent to the gallows by the American people?"

God replied, "Not in your lifetime."

Saddam loudly wept in despair.

God was again petitioned. This time by Manmohan Singh the Indian Premier. "Dear Lord," he said, "When will Musharaff give up his call for Kashmir and help bring peace to the region?"

Again God replied, "Not in your lifetime."

Manmohan could be heard wailing all across the Palk Straits.

Satellite too got into the swing of it. Sitting down she prayed, "Dear God, when will politicians stop lying to the people and how can I kick the habit?"

This time around God sat down and began to weep. "Why," Satty asked God, "are you weeping?" Choking, he replied, "Never ever in my life time!" Tch! Tch!
