A travesty on the Act on Amendments to the Act on the Commission of Inquiry: John and John
In the smaller parliamentary hall behind a large oval table. The hall is immediately recognizable, as we have seen it on TV several times. This is the hall where parliamentary investigations take place.
On one side of the oval table sit the members of the parliamentary commission. The very serious and stern faces. There is only one woman among them: her name is Jelka. If she didn’t have very nice, decent earrings, she would have completely blended in with men’s company. Otherwise, some male members of the investigative commission also wear earrings. John is sitting in the middle between them. Chairman of the investigative commission.
The examinee sits on the opposite side. He’s scared. He has a sweaty forehead. And palms too. He is alone. A single male.
The president of the investigative commission, Janez, is looking at his laptop.
President of the investigation commission Janez: Name?
The subject is not sure whether the chairman of the commission asked him.
Subject: And mine?
The chairman of the commission looks up.
President of the investigation commission Janez: Is the question procedural or are you just kidding me?
It is clear to the subject. The question was put to him.
Subject: John. My name is John.
The chairman of the commission slaps his palm on the table.
President of the investigation commission Janez: (outraged) It’s not possible. John, it’s me!
