“New steps to reduce oil consumption: Two weekly off days, petrol pumps to close on Fridays” – DAWN 08-Sept-08.
(http://www.dawn.com/2008/09/08/top1.htm)

In order to reduce the oil consumption, the govt. has finally come up with an ingenious (read mastermind) plan which is a real breakthrough. To restrict consumption, restrict distribution; isn’t that simple and wonderful. When people won’t have any oil on Friday, they will consume less (somehow..), hence consumption will go down (depending on the ’somehow;); the country’s oil worries have been solved (again…somehow).

This gets better. The govt has also introduced another holiday hoping that people would stay home and save on oil. This is like icing on the cake. (Any more brilliant plans like these and i’m sure the day is not far when Pakistan will be exporting oil).

Dilbert should be learning a thing or two from this govt.
