Paper junk Warning: hazardous material aboard ship

If India were to send a ship to other countries to dump `hazardous material', what all would you load it with?

Paper junk

We should ship away ration cards which give you nothing, employment exchange registration cards which never bring you a single call letter, certificates of different degrees which cannot assure you any employment, manifestos of different political parties which are useless and also persons sitting at enquiry counters without answers to most questions.

Nuisance value

Those who spit on roads, use walls for urinating, the so called elite who take their pet dogs out to commit nuisance on their neighbour's gate, those who talk as loud as they can on their mobiles standing on the balcony to show off should make up the consignments to be shipped out of the country.

Escape route

If all the corrupt were to be shipped overseas, the ship may just sink because of overload. So, I think I should board the ship to get away from the corruption-propelled India.

No letting go

They are the real life thrillers, providing juicy triangular tales about cricketer, coach and selector, adventures of media cops (sting operators) and their movie/neta victims caught on camera indulging in interesting acts, scams, scandals, kidnappings, rapes and skin shows. Nothing should be shipped out. Who would want to see the electronic media go mute or the print media blank?

Captain from Bihar

If the Government wants to ship away the country's blues, the vessel should be loaded with violators of traffic rules and our good-for-nothing leaders who waste public money and time. And yes, the ship captain should be someone from Bihar.

Vishaal Vyas,

Hyderabad

Kick-back consignment

My consignment would be filled with our political leaders who are more dangerous than any other hazardous material, as they harm the country's economical and financial growth.

Include latecomers

The cargo should comprise latecomers to office, police men who take bribe and public representatives who take money to ask questions on the floor of the House.

Hail Chamchavati

The name of the ship should be `Chamchavathi' and should have loads of chamchas who hang `No entry' boards on the boss's ears to advice from honest well-wishers. The ship will have to make many sorties up and down. The load will never end.

Bhimshanker,

Secunderabad

How about Mallika?

Load the ship with corrupt netas, fake babas, bugging phone callers from credit card departments, rash motorists and the likes of Mallika Sherawats and then row, row, row your ship gently down the sea. And, merrily dump them where they should be.

Mega cargo

The ship should have all the mega cloth showrooms and the mega shopping malls which come up on busy thoroughfares, all the public address systems doing roaring business right from dawn to dusk and all autos with faulty meters.

Seshagiri Row Karry,

Hyderabad

LeT them go

Dump members of Lashkar-a-Toiba and Al-Qaeda along with illiterate politicians and lazy officials in the ship and take them to deep sea.

Secunderabad

Serial-killers

I'll ship away serial makers who churn out sob stories and turn us into couch potatoes, making us forget the art of cooking and eating leisurely! Also, why not include our rickety old autos in the cargo?

Tata to villains

How about bundling eve-teasers or villains indulging in ragging or other heinous crimes into the ship? Anyway, their cases take ages to get settled in court.
