This is really hilarious !!
My friend told me about this and I wanted to add this hilarious story in my collection 
–
On your left is the picture of the flag of the Czech Republic. On your right is a ‘Check’ (or, rather, checkered flag; often used in car racing. The two should never be confused. Except for the fact that ‘Czech’ is pronounced as ‘check.’
Ordinarily, this should not be a problem. But when the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic was visiting Islamabad in May 2007, and the Capital’s PR people adorned a number of (very) large banners to welcome him in the spirit of good hospitality. But they made a very big mistake instead of putting the ‘Czech’ flags on the banners, they placed ‘Check’ flags!
I wonder what Czech Prime Minister and his team might have thought of this. Did they even mention it to their hosts or did they just keep politely quiet? I also wonder what they thought about the banner that read: “We Pray for the Czech Progress and Prosperity”?I am sure they liked the sentiment, but maybe they also wondered why Pakistanis are praying for Czech progress and prosperity instead of working harder for Pakistani progress or prosperity. On the other hand, maybe they do not think as hard about what is written on banners as I do!
I have no way of knowing this, but my theory of how this might have happened is this – Someone tells someone to find out what a Czech (read ‘check’) flag looks like; they look up ‘check flag’ on Google, and that is the one which makes it way on the banner.
