Rub it in! Or you'll get the hose again.

Mentioned the Al-Jazeera report to Dad tonight and he started reminiscing.

Apparently the local "MI5" building was very close to his home in Lahore. This was where carefully selected citizens assisted the Police with their enquiries. He said these lucky buggers were usually treated to a couple of nights free accomodation as well ... in an old empty well in the basement of the building (Silence of the Lambs style). Usually strung up from their ankles. Strangely enough, most people turned down the offer to "sleep on it" and were most forthcoming with any information that they had.

I did ask Dad how he knew of this and whether he had experienced it first hand but he just smiled and winked ...
