To all law enforcement officers (said in deep voiced bogus American accent) I can only apologise but:
Whilst popping to my local shopping centre this morning, we stopped at a busy junction. There is an important chap in Karachi currently so there are police and security forces everywhere.
No more than 6 feet to my right I noticed 2 of the very smartly dressed policemen heading towards a guy on a motorbike. Motorbike rider wearing no helmet. (The law has only recently coming in, forcing helmet wearing but almost nobody wears one.)
Bike rider sees them coming, just as the lights changed. He starts to speed up, trying to avoid a fine. 2 coppers see him moving, and start to run towards him. He executes a fine move and gets round them. 2 coppers then turn towards me and start to give chase, and I see these fine figures both have proper enormous weeble bellies. They build up momentum, John Regis stylee, hunting down this terrible villain, and the slightly less portly of the two almost lays a hand on the bike frame, but noooooo .... a skillful flick of the handlebars and he is out of reach, and off into the smog of Karachi city, never to be traced.
2 portly coppers are now in the middle of the road, both bent double wheezing and straining to catch their breath, after an epic chase of at least 15 yards.
All around me I can see people laughing in their cars and the horns are being tooted everywhere.
Clearly, I dont condone this sort of wanton disregard for the law... but it was mighty funny!!
