Milk and Honey
When they make a kill, they
really do make a kill, as first lady
Shee-ranthi found out recently. It was a
shocked Shee-ranthi who went looking for the
suppliers who were providing milk rice to
functions at the Araliya Abode at a princely
Rs 49.50 a piece. More shocked was she when
informed that the supplier was none other
than the mother in law of Prasanna the Hen,
the shutterbug, who is doing the catering.
Hmm...
Marketeer
The APRC is getting lessons
in marketing ploys these days. After making
a mess of the proposals recently a pollster
from Ireland was brought to their midst to
teach a lesson or two on selling the
proposals. They just as well may have taken
lessons from a bothal-paththara-karaya,
for the wares they tout are over 20 years
old. What!
A Bellyful
The poor consumer may be
tightening his belt each passing day, but
for the con-suming angel, Bun-dula it is all
a matter of numbers. And there he was
holding forth at the meeting that is the
group of the governing types only to be
rudely cut short by his one time boss Dee-nesh.
"Tell something practical, numbers don’t
fill stomachs," the annoyed Gune said. And
the first to clap was Ma-hinder. Aha!
Integrity
The Running-Lion who was
heading the commission that was all about
bribery was unceremoniously removed last
week. The Sec that is for the Prez, Laa-lit
called him to inform him of the move and
request him to resign. "Why, are there any
allegations," the man asked only to be
answered, "No, no, there is no question over
your integrity." It took a while for the
realisation to dawn that the Sec had been to
the point. The Presidente did not want a man
with integrity. Tch! Tch!
Firing Line
There were questions flying
last week at the house by the Diyawanna over
last year’s attack in Batti on the dip-lomutts.
Ravi K was not giving poor Baila a rest and
kept badgering him on how mortars could land
so close to the dip-lomutts. Baila had
enough of the questions and finally said,
"It is all to do with the mortars and their
range, and not me." Sin no! |
