Abhisit & Suu Kyi: there's an idea...
Play
Dear Khun Tulsathit Taptim, I always enjoy your "Stoppage Time" column, especially the "Democracy versus Corruption" series.
I beg you to please do a series on “Abhisit meets Aung San Suu Kyi.” With your wit and wisdom, the series would be entertaining, and I’d look forward to reading it. Here’s an example:
Abhisit: “It is a great privilege to meet you, Aung San.”
Aung San Suu Kyi: “Same here, Mark. And, by the way, I prefer to be called Daw Aung San. Please excuse my small and humble place. I was going to arrange your reception at a five-star-hotel, but with your all-male entourage, Mr Chavanond may get the wrong idea, you know.” (She glances at Chavanond and winks.)
Abhisit: (Squirms and clears his throat). “Well, your place is just fine. Let’s start a democracy lesson…”
Aung San: “Mark, democracy consists of four basic elements. I want to begin with…”
Abhisit: “Uh … Daw Aung San, sorry to interrupt you, but I am the one to give the lesson. I love to teach. I am a didactic speaker. I give PM Yingluck daily lessons on how to run the country...”
Aung San: “!@#%&!?!?”
