P: Now let us discuss other things.

Fr & Sq: Like what?

P: Like, for instance, the civil society.

Fr & Sq: Civil society is the hope of today and tomorrow.

P: Is DHA (Defence Housing Authority) a civil society?

Fr & Sq: I think you’ve gone astray.

P: No, I want this riddle to be solved once for all. Tell me why we use the word civil society time and again? Is there anything like a military society?

Fr & Sq: I am just unable to quench your curiosity. I can, however, quote a doggy instance.

P: A doggy instance?

Fr & Sq: It’s the tale of two to three dogs living under ‘official patronage’ with comfort and dignity in the CC block of Phase IV of DHA, Lahore.

P: But they say that ‘DHA is the ultimate living’?

Fr & Sq: Yes, the ultimate living of all species.

P: Then, we must praise the DHA for being so kind to other species. Isn’t this planet meant for all living beings?

Fr & Sq: It is, but not at the cost of peace of mind of other living creatures, especially the homo sapiens.

P: What puts the humans’ peace of mind at stake in the instant case?

Fr & Sq: It’s the incessant barking of dogs from midnight onwards till a few moments before dawn

P: There is something wrong with your inner self which is disturbed, otherwise, dogs barking in the wee hours provide protection against burglars who usually strike in the same hours.

Fr & Sq: You are in a way suggesting replacing the immaculate DHA guard system with a wee-hours-dog-system.

P: Yes. And do not please make it a case of dog eats dog in this civil(ized) society. The country is already facing it in all areas with people out to harm each other in order to succeed.

PUN OF THE DAY: When PCO judges are away, the lawyers will play.
