Some really bad PPJs (Pakistan PJs)

by Sunil Rajguru in International, Short Takes

Ek haath se Tali(ban) nahin bajti.
Isiliye do haath chahiye:
1. Afghanistan Taliban chapter and 2. Pakistan Taliban chapter.
Ab dono milke poora region ka baja rahe hai.
(Tali to baj rahi hain, ab
Taliban ka kaun bajayega?)

∙ From now on the BBC will stand for the Banned Broadcasting Corporation in Pakistan.

∙ The Pakistan government has also decided to ban the word “vice” from texting.
Henceforth, Short Messaging Service will be known as Short Messaging Ser.

∙ Pakistan na to India ka dost hai aur na to Afghanistan ka dost hai aur na to US ka dost hai aur ab latest NATO ka bhi dost nahin raha…

∙ Pakistan has banned Facebook and YouTube. They will now be coming out with a new website called Twofacedbook. The replacement for YouTube will be MeTube, where Me stands for Military eye.

With allies like these…

by Sunil Rajguru in International, Lyrical Atyachar

Pakistan is the drug addict. America is the drug.
Pak knows that the US is destroying it, but can’t do without it.
Or…
America is the drug addict. Pakistan is the drug.
The US knows that Pak is destroying it, but can’t do without it.
Whatever!

The US-Pak Barney song

Please sing to the tune of Barney

I hate you,
You hate me,
We’re an alleged happy family,
With a great big deception,
And a threat from me to you,
Won’t you say you hate me too?

An old one…
US-Pak ties are like a terribly failed marriage where both parties are petrified of divorce.
