Lost in translation

Agent 6 reports from a location unknown about a bit of miscommunication in the Gulf emirate of Qatar. Apparently a new fuel tanker arrived at a site there and needed to have safety instructions lettered onto it in Arabic. So the newly-appointed American manager told the site supervisor, an Indian chappie, to ensure that the tanker was clearly labelled "Diesel Fuel" in Arabic and "No Smoking" in Arabic.

Here, according to Agent 6, is what he got.


Agent 6 swears this is for real! However, Walt's efforts to get confirmation from Al Jazeera were fruitless...
