Extraordinarily ordinary

Mir Mohammad Ali Talpur

There is an anecdote about a person who was quite unsuccessfully trying to sell an ordinary donkey at a market place, but then had the good fortune of meeting an excellent salesman (or call him a PR man of the class and calibre who sold Benazir to the West and made her the ‘Daughter of the West’). 

The story goes that after the PR man praised the supposed and imaginary qualities and the pedigree of that donkey, a crowd of people gathered, all very anxious to buy that rare specimen. The owner asked him if the donkey was really that good, he would rather keep it. The PR man laughed and told him it was an extraordinarily ordinary donkey and only his eloquence and eulogy had enhanced its value, so sell it before he ended up holding the can.
