Assalamu Alaikum everyone! So, they passed a new amendment, the 26th, right? I haven’t read it, but I’ve heard the rumors… and let me tell you, the rumors are wilder than a camel on a sugar rush.

Apparently, Article 26 now legally protects pigeons. Pigeons! They have more rights than some people I know. I tried to explain to a pigeon the other day about the importance of civic duty, but he just… pooped on my head. I think that's his way of saying, 'Get a life, dude.'

And then there’s the mango voting rights. Yes, you heard that right. Mangoes. Apparently, they're upset about the lack of representation in the government. I’m telling you, if mangoes start demanding higher prices, we're all doomed. Who's gonna win the next election? The Mangos! Who's gonna start a revolution? The Mangos! Who's gonna replace the politicians?.... The Mangos!

So, I ask you, what's the craziest thing you've heard about this amendment? Anyone? (Pauses for audience response) Oh yeah, I've heard that one too! It’s insane, isn't it? … I’m starting to think this whole amendment was written by a flock of pigeons on a mango plantation.

And the best part? A politician tried to bribe a goat to vote for him. A GOAT! I mean, the goat probably just wanted some extra hay, but still. That's the level of desperation we're dealing with here. I'm pretty sure the goat is more qualified than some candidates I know.

So, the 26th amendment… It's a wild ride. But hey, at least the pigeons are happy. And the mangoes… well, they're still waiting for their ballots. But who knows, maybe they'll start a revolution with the help of some well-bribed goats. Thanks, everyone! Good night!
