Should he have himself arrested?
Pakistanis who send jokes about Asif Zardari by text message, email or blog risk being arrested and given a 14-year prison sentence.
The country's interior minister, Rehman Malik, announced the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) had been asked to trace electronically transmitted jokes that "slander the political leadership of the country" under the new Cyber Crimes Act.
Mr Malik, said the move would punish the authors of "ill motivated and concocted stories through emails and text messages against the civilian leadership".
The step, which was described by human rights groups as "draconian and authoritarian", came after government was particularly riled by a barrage of caustic jokes being sent to the presidency's official email.

All he will succeed in doing is opening the world's humour floodgates...
"Terrorists have kidnapped our beloved Zardari and are demanding $5,000,000 or they will burn him with petrol. Please donate what you can. I have donated five litres."
What's the difference between Musharraf and Zardari? Musharraf enjoys collecting jokes people make about him, Zardari enjoys collecting people who make jokes about him.
Asif Zardari is so stupid it takes him 3 hours to watch 60 minutes.
- What do you call an honest Pakistani president?
- Asif
