Ken and his two friends were hanging out in one of the pubs in town. They've been there for barley an hour when Jones walked in with his girlfriend Anne. Ken beckoned on them and the duo joined them at the table.

The friends were discussing football before the arrival of Ken and the girlfriend when suddenly ken changed the topic to politics.

At first the others were reluctant to discuss in details what they feel about the performance of the government of the day bearing in mind that Ken is a political office holder. They were very scatchy with their assessment but Ken threw caution to the wind and started lampooning the government of the day. Jones got annoyed but had to control his annoyance.

Ken who was visibly happy with the turn of things kept his throwing his jabs and others seated around were enjoying the public show.

Out of anger Jones punched Ken in the face and he fell to the ground heavily gasping for air. Immediately the show ended and in the ensuing melee many got injured. It's alive gentlemen, one drunkard proclaimed from within, having observed ken sneeze several times when he was helped to stand.

Jones wasted no time to whisk away his girlfriend and both drove off in his official car even without saying goodbye to the other friends they had shared table with.
