A credible reason for resignation
I’m talking about none other than His…erm…”Excellency” Nimal Siripala jowls de Silva. He seems to have a fairly decent background, as in he wasn’t brought up by wolves or bonobos or anything like that which might have warped his sense of reality. Of course his comments at the recent International Congress of AIDS in Asia and the Pacific belies any possibility of him having any semblance of a reasonable worldview. I could come up with a number of erudite, meaningful reasons for why old jowly should retire but I think it’s pretty simple to sum it up in a few words (I’m also tired and lazy).
He’s an idiot.
By the standards of current politicians I don’t he was all that unusual…..

if pure idiocy was a reason for our local politicians to retire, our parliament would be empty by now..

Surely ‘being an idiot’ is a credible reason for one to become a politician in Sri Lanka rather than to stop being one?
“People in South-east Asia practice good sexual behaviour with single partners.”
I guess he’s forgotten his infamous ‘helu-pala’ incident already

heard a fun story about him in law school. apparently they were having a mock case about a man who had fallen into a well and died, the issue was whether it was suicide or homicide. NSDS summed up the case as follows;
“your honour, we have two possibilities at hand, either the man jumped into the well, or the defendant jumped him into the well..”

There may be more cause for him to resign… along with a certain other person as well.
