When the [Pakistani] law minister, Wasi Zafar, was recently described [in English] as the “long arm of the law” by a local journalist, the minister mistook it for an expression in his native Punjabi which roughly translates into “up yours”.His apt response, on national TV, was: “If anyone gives me the long arm, my long arm to his whole family.” [Source: BBC]
