Everyone Jumps On Murali Bandwagon To Win Election!
Today her Supreme Commandant Herr Chandrika took time off from work of the state to congratulate a chap called Murali who spends his time throwing red balls at Australians.

With the elections just around the corner there is considerable brown-nosing (or to put it crudely: Bum Licking!) in the Rep of Sri Lanka.

Not to be outdone the Pry Minister Rani has also congratulated Murali in the traditional fashion by going down on his knees. Meanwhile several Buddhist monks contesting the eleckshun are to hold a Pirith Ceremony to ensure Murali a good afterlife. The JVP are planning to do something nasty...and the TNA are...(Thatsh enough about Murali! - Ed)

A Psychologist Writes...
In general terms, at times of elections, most politicians suffer from a condition known as Compulsive Brown Nosing (or to use medical terminology, Proctolagnia brownosis)

What happens is that the normally aloof and "We-Don't-Give-A-Shit-About-The-Proles" politicians suffer from a transient form of Acute Depression brought on by the realisation that their days are probably numbered.
This results in a highly unusual and irrational display of affection towards anybody in the news, coupled with Bending Over Backwards and attempting to worship anything that is capable of casting a vote...
Fortunately, for all persons concerned, this condition is self limiting...The general public should always avoid politicians just before elekshuns...(cont on page 922)

A Veterinary Surgeon Writes....
The tiger, or to give its full Latin name Felis eelamensis, is an unpredictable, evil-tempered animal who kidnaps its own young and conscripts them into their rebel army in violation of the Geneva Convention. It is also known to attack its own kind in addition to being a danger to humans. This is exemplified by the recent attack by a Tiger on another Tiger in the north of Sri Lanka.
What happened was that over a period of time two distinct sub species of Tigers have evolved. The more common type Felis eelamensis vanni mainly dominates the Vanni region but in recent times Felis eelamensis karuna (left) has dominated the eastern part of the island. A few days ago without warning Karuna turned around and bit Velu. This of course is unacceptable to the Vanni Tiger lot.
Expect more attacks between Tigers in the near future....The general public should stay well away from.....do not approach...(contd on page 281)
