Qombol-Azim etc.

Some time ago everybody was asking for Persian jokes and nobody suppled one.
I now start the ball rolling with the following (OK, you all knew it, but then
you asked for it, didn't you?):

Two of the most popular names for Khomeini's tomb in Tehran:

1 - Because of it being located somewhere between Qom and Abdol-Azim,

Qombol-Azim!

2 - Goor-e Baba-ye Said Ahmad!

(For the benefit of non-Iranians: "Qombol-Azim" means "Big Bum" referring to
the big dome on top of the Khomeini's grave. "Goor-e Baba-ye Said Ahmad"
literally means "the tomb of the father of Said Ahmad [Khomeini's son]. But
in Persian the term "goor-e baba-ye ... is short for "shit to goor-e baba-ye
...", a common insult.)
