This is the kind of story you can’t make up. Akbar Zeb is a Pakistani diplomat with a big problem. In Arabic, his Urdu name sounds more like the name of a porn star.

That's "Ambassador Huge Penis" to you.
Fox News reports the flaccid details:
The Arabic transaltion of Akbar Zeb to “biggest d**k” has overwhelmed Saudi officials who have refused to allow his post there.
Zeb has run into this problem before when Pakistan tried to appoint him as ambassador to the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, where he was rejected for the same reason, according to Foreign Policy.
We must admit that we are surprised to learn that Akbar Zeb means “big prick.” We thought that’s what Rahm Emanuel meant.

Is his middle name “Woody”?
I really wish my name meant that!
They must be mistaken, It means Keith Olbermann.
You’re too kind – Olbermann is what happens to an old, little prick in ice water.
LOL…
Ah, the Arabs.
Those “best of people” and apparently the biggest of penisis.
Hugh Johnson is from Pakistan?
Oh wow, I never thought about it that way before.

Here is a Google Translation of the name.
Here is the Wikipedia page for him, and you’ll get a laugh out of it

I just want to say thanks for showing one of the best comedy bits of all time. Who cares about well hung Pakastani’s?
I sent this to my usual contacts, I seen some posts, but only one response. My Friend may just get it. I couldn’t agree more…
Deal with that all the time……………….it’s either “Big Dick “or asshole. Big Dick seems to get more calling, though……………………………….HaHa
I get the impression that Akbar Zeb could take this as a compliment & start bragging. I know I have friends who would do just that.
