Kabul, Afghanistan
Presidential hopeful Abdullah Abdullah meets with his top adviser.
Abdullah : I have come to a monumental decision.
Adviser : Yes Abdullah. Enlighten me.
Abdullah: I 'm withdrawing from the election.
Adviser: Why?
Abdullah: To tell you the truth. I'm ashamed.
Adviser: Oh Alla! Not a western style sex scandal?
Abdullah : No!
Adviser : You fiddled your expenses?
Abdullah: Of course not.
Adviser: Then what?
Abdullah: I'm ashamed of my name on the polling papers.
Adviser: What?
Abdullah: Abdullah Abdullah! The other guy may well be a corrupt bastard, but at least he's got two different names.
Adviser: Don't be silly.
Abdullah: I know what people are saying. They say that my father was so boring he could only think of one name and he liked it so much, he named me twice.
Adviser: A bit like New York!
Abdullah gives him a glare.
Adviser : Where does it come from?
Abdullah: It is my father's name and his father's name – we come from a long line of Abdullah's.
Adviser : Well don't you have another name, a middle name that we can use?
Abdullah: I'm also named after my mother's father.
Adviser: There you go then! Panic over. We'll put that name on the polling papers. What is it? Not Abdullah!
Abdullah: No. F**kyc**tywankstain.
