"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Must Be Zeb Envy
Double Tapper reports that Pakistani diplomat Miangul Akbar Zeb has been rejected as ambassador to both the UAE and Bahrain because his name, in Arabic, means "Biggest Dick" (H/T: Theo Spark).
That's his name. What his physical characteristics are like we don't know.
He was most recently turned down for the post of ambassador to the Wahhabist Entity, because of the Arabic translation of his name. that's the third Arab country that has rejected him for that reason. Why do the Pakistanis keep trying to appoint him to an Arab country? Does the guy in charge of appointments have it in for him, so that he wants to humiliate the poor guy continually? Why not send him to, say, Switzerland or France?
I wonder if there is a Detective Paco story in here somewhere?
It can't be that big a disappointment to him. Read into that what you will.
ReplyDeleteSomething he'd probably brag about, actually.

I think the Pakistanis are trying to send a message that they're the big boys in the neighborhood.

ReplyDeleteHey, I hadn't thought of that. Maybe the government is trying to force him to retire.
And is his wife Intercontinentia Buttocks?
ReplyDeletePerhaps her name means "Great big...tracts of land" in Arabic.
