(Caesar is sitting on his throne in the Senate)

Aide:                             Your Excellency, two men from the Ministry of Health are here to see you.

C'sar:                            What is their business?

Aide:                             They say they are here to give you a jab

C'sar:                             Ah! At last, immunisation. Show them in!

(Two figures enter)

C'sar:                              What are your names ?

First man:                      I am named Brutus Somchai

Second Man:                And I, his brother, am named Cassius Somchai

C'sar: Welcome.          What is the vaccine I am to receive today good servants:

First man:                      Excellency, the label indicates it to be Anutinus Fatale a product of artisans in far Cathay.

Second man:                And here it comes......(Jabbing the patient )

C'sar:                               Is this a dagger I see before me?

First man :                      You got that right Pinocchio. No more somtam for you.

Csar: (gasping)             Et tu Anutin?.......(collapses from side effects, other members of the Senate join in with complementary booster shots to ensure efficacy)
