#2 "To marry my sister you will have to pass over my dead body!"

"OK"

The police said that one man was killed and three others wounded when their motorcycle was rammed by a fast moving road roller

Four people on a motorcycle? What they were doing, Advertising a circus?

The driver, responsible for the accident, fled from the scene.

Are you saying that you have been unavle to catch a road roller patrolman Hassan?

The dead body was shifted to the Jinnah Hospital for post-mortem.

"That is funny this guy had metal bones, surgeon Ali"

"It is not a bone, it is a screw from the motorcycle, surgeon Mahmood"

"That explains the funny shape"

#3 Seagoon: Constabule! I demand that you arrest the driver of that hundred-ton, anthracite-filled, reciprocating engine steam roller!
Willium: Let's hear the charge.
Seagoon: I'll play it for you
Fx: trumpet charge, explosion
Willium: Thank you.
Seagoon: Now I want you to arrest the driver of that steam roller!
Willium: Oh, well, well, righto, where's the driver?
Moriarty: Sapristi nyockos! Yaka-baka-boo! Who wants to know? I am the man.
Willium: Now then, this gentleman here says that you're the driver of that steam roller, sir.
Moriarty: So do I.
Seagoon: That makes two of us. Constable, arrest the driver, I have witnesses!
Moriarty: Who are they?
Seagoon: You and me.
Moriarty: You can't arrest me!
Seagoon: And why not?
Moriarty: [laughs]
Seagoon: [laughs]
Moriarty: See that plate on the steam roller? See the letters on it? C.D.
Willium: Cor blimey!
Moriarty: No, Corp Diplomatique! I have diplomatic immunity!
Willium: Get me out of here, call a doctor!
Moriarty: Sapristi yakamacaca. Diplomatic immunity means I cannot be arrested, sued, disfranchised, blackballed, guillotined, run out, left in hock, charged, hung, drawn or quartered, or needle-noddle-newed! You see, I happen to be the deputy vice pomfrit of the Titicacan delegation.
Seagoon: Then why are you driving a steamroller?
Moriarty: My feet hurt me.

#5 I guess with 4 people on it a motorcycle can't move fast enough to get out of the way of a steam roller.

#8 Damn, it made sense when I mis-read it as Road Runner. Made me think "Feathered or Plymouth?"

#9 sorry about being so analytical, but four people on a motorcycle?

I guess you've never been to India or Pakiland. Four people on a motorcycle is quite common. I've seen whole families on 150cc Honda Hero's. Fascinating.
