Dumb and dumber politicians
Democrat spokesman Chavanont Intarakolmalyasut criticised PM Yingluck for mispronouncing ya faek (vetiver grass) as ya praek (pesty grass).
“Even when the prime minister is reading a script, she reads it wrong,” he said.
Mr. Spokesman, why don’t you ask your boss what ya faek and ya praek are? He probably tells you they are twin actresses. PM Yingluck made a silly slip-up, and you make a federal case out of it. Well, let me tell you about your boss’s boo-boos: His maid stole his ATM card (with 4-digit PIN written on it), and during a period of one year she withdrew cash 121 times, totalling about Bt100,000 before your boss realised what was going on. The man couldn’t ever balance his bank book, and he wanted to balance the budget.
There’s more: the GT-200, self-powered dousing rod. The Army insisted that the rods could detect bombs, but sometimes they messed up because – get this – the users didn’t get enough sleep, so their bodies produce only faint electricity, not enough to power the rods! Your boss came to the rescue saying “Next time, we buy ones that use batteries.” I wonder if he went to Hogwarts or Eton?
