Punchlines, Punch Bags (Boxing Bags). Punch Balls, Kick Bags and Kickbacks with Punch and Judy
Election is all over and every conceivable lie had being utilized for gains.
It is miracle that I survived without hearing loss since the decibel range was higher than the pitch I was used to.
Sometimes I think it is a blessing to be either deaf or blind or both.
Since I am not either this is to revive Punch and Judy not in his style but in boxing style.
It
is strange to note that Punch and Judy characters never used Boxer the
kids friendly dog nor the the real boxing characters like Cassius Clay
(Mohamed Ali), probably fearing American backlash.
I
am writing this not expecting any kickbacks from any living soul or any
British soul sent to hell by Punch but I have to use English for the
strength of the Punch but in boxing style.
I
am not even light weight and not even super flyweight to have the
physical (I was super bantamweight when I was abroad and having being
here for over 5 years gone below the fly weight category without even
having a crash course in dieting) presence felt in the ring.
I
have to use the English punchlines (send our Buddhist MPs including
monks to heaven – not to hell like in UK for them to evoke blessing for
the millions of voters who are practically missing a meal-according to
health Ministry statistics they never starve; they actually follow the
Buddhist monks principle of eating once a day to go to heaven.
Sri-Lanka is not the heaven or paradise that it used to be.
The
boxing categories including light weight was used by me to address the
issue I have with the Microsoft / Open Office Office Package/s which is
/are always super heavyweight and tax my computer’s limited resources
including RAM.
Since
I use Linux for my work I do many things (unlike Microsoft Windows)
once at the same time (watching Football World Cup-not cricket now- do a
distribution download while I do some pep writings like this) and the
speed is a factor I rely for efficiency.
I use Abiword Light sometime which is portable too.
I
have extended this to my Linux100 writing elsewhere in the Google’s
blogspot- just type asoka and paraox- you are instantly there and I want
the Linux Developers to produce Light Weight (700 MiB. Middle Weight is
1700 MiB and anything above is Heavy Weight (especially the commercial
versions that tax resources even at boot time) and sometimes useless to
say the least.
Just
to take some respite from somewhat taxing job (100 is a big issue at my
age, even though I have already 200 distributions in my USB hard disc)
of testing and writing reviews for the wider web users.
I take life at an easy pace now!
To begin with my Punch Code (in computer terminology) we must have a nurse and a doctor appointed to the parliament.
The
should weigh all new MPs (do not do that with the old foxes they are
too heavy that the spring of the balance will break without any spring
of surprises) now and every three months over the next 6 years and send
that data to the Central Bank / World Bank and the WHO (Sinhalen whoooo)
as real data.
They
must be categorized according to the weight class of the boxers and see
how they progress from flyweight to super heavyweight both in weight
and money in no time.
Real progress of the country.
My
argument for this is that our parliament truly represents the wishes
of the population in real terms and numbers.
It truly feel the pulse of
the people and rule of the law but not the rulers image.
If we have donkeys in this country surely they should be represented there.
Then we must have an annual contest in front of the Diyawana Oya and get Indian actors to come and face them weight by weight.
Our voters can be used as the Punch Bags or Boxing Bag (it is done almost everyday if you look at the government TV Channel).
It is worth while that they must send a random sample of weight from school leavers for comparison.
But
I think that is a waste since our Central Bank has the knack of
manipulating any real data into abstruse elements for it to be presented
at the Budget at any time of the day or night or if necessary for IMF’s
consumption.
But my real punch line is not for the new MPs.
It is for the Ministers who were newly appointed.
It looks as if they are used as the Punch Bags especially the Foreign Minister.
I do not wish to tell who uses them as the Punch Bags.
It
is a top secret except for one who is always vociferous in Sinhala for
the cameras and destroy anything foreign except the oil he wears on his
head.
If seems that boxers use kick balls and kick bags.
I like both of them (kick bag and kick ball) and in football style I can kick them in their vestiges!
