Peter Gluck
During our days at the Medical Faculty, Colombo, 'Daha' as he was referred to, was rumored to have had an encounter with a diplomat from Canada. The name of the diplomat was Peter Gluck. He called at 'Daha's' office. A functionary had gone in and whispered into 'Daha's' ear, 'Sir, Galak avilla'. 'Daha' had responded 'Passe, passe. Dhang bae'. This was a story told ad nauseum at parties. Even now it brings guffaws of laughter.
You have to understand Sinhalese and the ways of politicians to appreciate this joke.
