Partly Facetious: Stray dogs are rampant in Islamabad

ARTICLE: "When you are right you are right."

"But...but..."

"Trust me on this."

"But..."

"No buts my friend - buts are fraught with danger."

"OK, let me make a general comment then, no one, but no one, is always right."

"True, but the proof of determining whether one is right or wrong rests with Allah and with us mortals those around who make their views known..."

"There are three types around anyone with power: sycophants plus, sycophants and sycophants negative who may be defined as those who attack the views of the first two categories..."

"No Bs, hunh?"

"Not in this lot...some like Fawad Chaudhry challenge The Khan's selection decisions on occasion but at the same time, praise The Khan no end..."

"Any examples?"

"Nah, some of them are lawyers, so no."

"Not possible, it's worse than Corona infection, once you get it, it's there to stay as long as you sit on the chair."

"And once you are out?"

"You rant and rave against the election system, the set up, the..."

"Set up or mind set?"

"Don't be facetious."
