LETS FLUSH BABA SWINE-DEV.
Mr. Ramdev (I refuse to give him any respect by calling him Baba) has claimed from time to time to be able to cure many ailments.
First it was AIDS, then Homosexuality which he claimed (correctly or incorrectly depending on if you take it literally or as a pun) was a disease of the anus. And now Swine Flu.
That man is obviously a charlatan and is always ready with some choice words planned to elicit the maximum publicity.
And yet the media wastes reams and reams of newsprint/primetime on this crook.
Why??? I just don’t understand.
A few years back during the Dubai Shopping Festival a Yemeni man was arrested because he was trying to sell a bulletproof stone.
Some of you may remember my previous post (dated June 25, 2008) about this Yemeni trader who was jailed in Dubai for trying to con people into buying, what he calls, a ‘bulletproof’ onyx. He claimed that anyone who wore that stone round his neck would be rendered bulletproof.
And the price tag for that? 1 million dirhams.
Before anyone could come forward to offer to buy it, the police swooped in and arrested the man.
All through his arrest and subsequent court case, he kept insisting he could prove it.
The curious case finally concluded with the highest court here confirming his 3 month imprisonment to be followed by deportation.
The sad thing is that the man still claims that the stone is bullet-proof but has had no chance to prove it. Several government bodies failed to confirm the Yemeni's claims because they lacked proper scientific methods or equipment to test whether the onyx stone was bulletproof or to decide its real value.
Again as I said earlier, why not just test it on the man himself?
If he survives, then the stone is priceless.... if not….. well, case closed.
Maybe that’s the way to shut up Ramdev too.
Send him some people with Swine Flu & AIDS and a Homosexual.
Or better still a HIV+ Gay with Swine Flu.
If he can cure him then, well, we should all begin to pray to Ramdev.
If not, lets take the big stick of the media and stick it up his…..
What say you?
In other news the Gulf News reported today that the Swiss (who else) are going to market a chocolate which is hard to melt. Its for those of us living in the “warmer parts of the world”.
Now its all very good coz I’ve had my own share of gooey chocolates in 45 degrees heat but the obvious question is, how will it melt in my mouth then?
Just Asking?
And finally in the U.S some smart guy started to manufacture toilet paper.
Just normal toilet paper, except that this had pictures of Fidel Castro on it.
Cuban exiles in Miami are believed to be rushing to buy it in bulk.
Gives a really new (and literal meaning) to really “rub it in”.
Wonder if they’ll make one with Ramdev’s face on it? That way he can check the ‘disease of the anus’ up close and personal.
Till next time….. Jai Ho.
