WajBro, the man’s man, the ladies’ man, the man of action, the man who knows his firearms, the man who can survive, nay, thrive in the wilderness, wrestling bears therein if he has to – or if he’s lonely.
Well, amongst all those very true things, the fellow also fancies himself a bit of a wit. A raconteur with enough zingers in him to get everyone in stitches; more stitches than the aforementioned bear.
On twitter, what was an innocuous comment from someone bemoaning how Bangladesh just launched a communications satellite while we in Pakistan we still debating the role of the khalai makhlooq. Replying to this, our man wrote “Hey. At least we’re good looking.”

This newspaper knows the pitfalls of satire, what with running a parallel satirical outfit, The Dependent. The problem here is that some bits of satire are just in bad taste. Secondly, given how much of the Pakistan military’s Kool-Aid the fellow has imbibed, one wonders whether it actually was satire.
