Speaking of camels reminds me of the Abdul, the used camel dealer. He had a used camel lot on the edge of the Sahara.

Hassan the merchant came in one day and said he needed a 6 day camel for a particular trip he was planning out into the desert, 3 days out and 3 days back with no water.

Abdul sold Hassan a guaranteed 6 day camel and the merchant departed.

After 5 days the merchant appeared back at the lot on foot, suffering from exposure, dehydration and very upset with Abdul.

He said the camel dropped dead after 5 days and he had to walk the rest of the way.

Abdul asked him if he bricked the camel before he left. Hassan said no, "what is bricking?". Abdul said no frigging wonder he died. To brick your camel you take him to the watering hole just before you leave and let him drink all the water he will hold.

Then just before he raises his head up out of the water, you clap his balls between two bricks whereupon he inhales and extra days worth of water that he would not otherwise drink.

Hassan said doesn't that hurt a lot? Abdul said just don't let your thumbs get between the bricks.
