Duty

[poliphilo]

A Pakistani visitor congratulated me yesterday on having fathered three children. You have "done your duty by your nation," he said.

I laughed good-humouredly.

Being around Pakistanis is like being around a bunch of Victorian aunts and uncles. I tread carefully for fear of causing outrage.
