I heard the following many years ago from a friend who heard it in person at a
public lecture by the famous C. Northcote Parkinson at the Indian Institute of
Technology, Madras. Since this is second-hand (and from memory), it may not be
an exact quote but is close enough. The original delivery almost brought the
house down, as the cliche' goes.
Government's handling of a difficult matter by appointing a Commission
of Enquiry is just like a person going to the toilet -- there is a
sitting, a report, and then the matter is dropped!

-if you have to ask get out of the way-
Have you ever been stopped by a traffic cop and, while he was
writing a ticket or giving you a warning, you got the feeling that
he would just love to yank you out of the car, right through the
window, and smash your face into the front fender?...
