Butt on religion: "We are Muslims & we believe in Allah. We do whatever Islam says & we try to be what we are supposed to be. Religion is the complete code of life & we follow its guiding principles."

Butt on cricket: "It is a natural passion for the game since I was a child. In fact I have one or two pictures at home from when I was just able to stand, holding a bat."

Perhaps the wealthiest and most powerful Butts in the world are the celebrated Butt clan of San Antonio, Texas. Pioneering grocer C.C. Buttd his first store in Kerrville, TX in 1905. His son Howard later incorporated as the H.E. Butt Grocery Company, and began building a central Texas food retailing dynasty.

Today, H.E. Butt is still a family business headed by H.E.'s son Charles Butt and grandson Stephen Butt. The corporation operates over 300 H-E-B stores throughout Texas and northern Mexico, with yearly sales of $11 billion. It is one of the 10 largest privately held corporations in the world, with a net worth conservatively estimated in the tens of billions -- all held by the Butts. Yes, these are powerful Butts.

I have often wondered what would have happened had Howard Butt married Ima Hogg, daughter of legendary Texas governor Big Jim Hogg. One can only scarcely imagine the raw, concentrated power resulting from a Texas superdynasty of Hogg-Butts.

FWIW I don't see the "beautiful atrocity" here, though it's clear the cricket star must be the butt of many jokes.

Hm ... probably a not-uncommon Pakistani name.

The Pak drug baron in "Traffik" (BBC miniseries upon which the Michael Douglas / Catherine Z-J / Benicio del Toro / etc. movie was based) was named Tariq Butt, but they pronounced it something like "butt-iti" / "butta-tee."

"I've been fortunate enough not to have heard even one about it so far."

Actually, the reporter's question was pretty much an "infantile joke," so there's at least one right there.
