DEFINITION OF A MICROPHONE


Nowadays on almost every stage or platform you see men with trite knowledge and learning, known as political leaders, shooting their mouths off on every subject under the sun - be it rape or Pakistan or the economy, or world politics. If it were not for their positions of power no one would even listen to them.

These are ordinary people with ordinary learning, and not experts in any field of knowledge - yet just because they have been given a stage to stand on and a platform and podium, and worse still, a microphone to speak through, they fill the world with their enlightenment, often making gaffes of the worst sort. It is also the one place they get to vent their sense of humor, telling jokes at which only they and their sycophants laugh.

So what is the definition of a microphone?

A microphone is that instrument before which the speaker's mind goes suddenly blank.
