The President's new uniform

After starting the nationwide shoulder search for the expected public cry session, now there is new tactical brilliance, which has been reported as:

Quote:
Uniform is my second skin: Musharraf
ISLAMABAD: President Gen Pervez Musharraf said that he is proud to be an army man and uniform is like his second skin than how can he even think of shedding it.

Lets look at it carefully. The emperor's, I beg your pardon, the prejident's new skin.

HMEHPPGPM likes to take his morning
shower while wearing the uniform.

He likes it very much. Ought we to make him shed it? It so new and shiny, and not at all brown.

What might we say to him for the loss?

That we have found a shoulder for him to cry upon in public. For the uninitiated, public expression of affection with wimmens is not allowed, so begum sahiba cant help. ( Dont blame her, its a fatwa from supreme lal masjib (may it be painted even laal-er)).

So if we can tell him, we found this shoulder, large, fair, and muscular shoulder, so manly to cry upon and uphold the honor and dignity, he might be persuaded.

Another way is to tell him that all good snakes have to shed their uniform in due time, lamp posts allowing. And might he be a dear good snake and shed it so it can be put on display in quaid-e-duh mujeum?

Perhaps a royalty from the tickets can be arranged. Or alternatively, it could be auctioned and proceeds can be drawn towards a pension fund.

No, you say? Well how about Bush, or Dick calling him and letting him know two skins is way too much. If he is so thick skinned, perhaps he would not need all that protection they are providing for him.

If he likes his thick skin so much, might he be kind enough to return that bullet proof car, and those electronic jammers, and shiny new guns, back?

He might be inclined to you lend you his ear, I think.

Just lend, mind you, he has no intention of giving them up. He likes two of everything, skin included.

But there is another way of looking at it, its not just a fancy coat or nappy. He can't give it up, because its a real appendage. As functional as his tactically brilliant appendix. In fact, the above report may have been misquoted. Here is the correct one:

Quote:

Uniform part of my being' “I was brought up as a military man and uniform is part of my being,” he maintained. In an interview with BBC on Tuesday, he said he took over as President due to the turmoil in the country, otherwise he loved being an armyman.

Now this is BBC (of course, no less!!!, don't you know, no less!!!). Now the supreme leader likes making sacrifices for his country and all, but come on asking one to give their first born for the lamp post is one thing, has anyone heard of someone being asked to have an appendectomy? We dont even know what the thing does?

Why does he have to have the operation? Is it infected? He hasn't done any downhill skiing lately, and the begum was sure there is not a touch of brown on it.

Be nice good people, and let the uniform be. Really, Is Pakistan now so poor its ruler cant even have two skins? That is the real question.
