CHOPPER KHAN
Jemima Khan, ex-wife of Imran, on her former husband’s parenting skills:
When my son was four years old I found him playing with a one-armed Action Man. I asked him what had happened to Action Man. He replied, “[Daddy] said he’d been stealing.” Imran’s idea of a joke.
Actually, that’s not bad. I’ve an uncle with a scarred face (farming accident); when I was four or so, I asked what caused it. Thereafter followed a spontaneously-composed, brilliantly-told tale of sword battle with a rival farmer, ending with the line: “And then I cut his head off.”
