Tortoise operation

Ra-Blue, in a desperate attempt to prevent what could be the UNP’s 17th consecutive election defeat, has consulted several South Indian astrologers and palm readers. Tea-Run the Potato-S, Row-Han and Ra-Blue’s bro have been masterminding the special operation aimed at winning the forthcoming election.

One of the top astrologers flown from Chennai for the special ‘astrology operation’ for the Eastern PC poll, has advised him to find three tortoises for the job.

When Row-Han told Ra-Blue in Sinhala to find three ‘ibbo’, a panic leader ordered his aides to buy three big padlocks. Later, Tea-Run had told Ra-Blue that it’s not padlocks but tortoises that are needed for the job. One of Ra-Blue’s friends finally got down three tortoises for the job.

The astrologer has now asked Ra-Blue to let the three tortoises cross the road, minutes before MR’s motorcade takes that route. The well-known Indian astrologer has advised Ra-Blue that if the leader could let that happen, he would be able to slow down MR’s race towards success.

The astrologer has further said that since the tortoise is a slow-moving land-dwelling reptile, this act would slow down MR’s speedy success.

But Ra-Blue’s biggest problem now is the difficulty in performing the act which the astrologer has ordered under tight security situations.

With the VVIP routes in Colombo and suburbs under tight security, Ra-Blue has now asked his confidants to look for a village route which MR takes to perform the ‘tortoise operation’ before next Saturday.
