Doctor Who Gave Elephant Dose to Mosquito Fired

Seriously, a mosquito checks into a hospital because it’s not happy with its trademark hum and without doing any examination the doctor gives it the same giant injection of god knows what she administered to a hippo a few hours earlier. This has sent the poor insect into a deep coma and triggered an inquiry. It turns out that the doctor does this to every patient that visits the medical institution, big and small. The regular complimentary invitations to seminars organised by Big Pharma in posh locations may explain why an identical dose is applied each time. 

It’s not any different from the proposal of nominating 20 PR seats after each general election to correct any seat/vote share imbalance. Why would you use 20 MPs irrespective of whether you have a 60-2, 41-21 or 30-32? There’s no good reason especially when we know that this will create two types of political instability and blunt our democracy by preventing voters from keeping that many politicians out of parliament. Besides there’s a better and more elegant solution.

MMM Saying 2 Political Dynasties are OK, 3 Not

That's what you have to deduce from listening to yesterday's press conference. So they were finding it a problem that representatives of three political dynasties have gotten together in an alliance namely the Ramgoolam, Duval and Jugnauth.

But it would have been OK for the MMM to join two political dynasties. So what's going on here? Two is good and three is bad?

That's bizarre because both numbers are prime numbers. Maybe they think 3 is odd which is kind of true. And 2 not being a triangular number like 3 it would have been easy for them to apply their well-honed skills of political triangaz.
