Yebaw Day: What’s the name of this Bo Joke (General) ?
Yebaw Law: Which one?
Yebaw Day: The one who went to Chin State and told the People they must vote Yes in the Referendum.
Yebaw Law: Oh, that one is called Bo Joke Thura Aung Ko. His speech was reported in a news article dated 21 April.
Yebaw Day: You pronounced his name wrong.
Yebaw Law: Really. What is the right way, then?
Yebaw Day: Thura Aung Ko means “He who depends on success; He who won the Thura medal.” (One of the Highest Medals in the Army). But That is wrong. The CORRECT way to say his name is Thu YA Aung KHOH (He who MANAGES to STEAL)
Yebaw Law: Ha, ha. That’s funny.
Yebaw Day: But what’s even funnier is the Big Joke in the Bo Joke’s speech.
Yebaw Law: Tell me about it.
Yebaw Day: He said the People must vote YES in the Referendum. If they vote NO, then the Army will rule for another 15 years.
Yebaw Law: I know the Big Joke now: If they vote YES, then the Army will rule for another 15,000 years !!
