In moments of amorous passion, He frequently buggers the Sphinx. But the Sphinx's posterior passage Is clogged with the sands of the Nile, Which accounts for the hump on the camel, And the Sphinx's inscrutable smile." |

Males and females do it to tell each other who is in charge. It was one of the first things my pit bull did when the new blue heeler pup came into the yard, to put her in her place. Sad story about the camel. A lot of people try to make pets of animals they have no business trying to make into pets. SRS |

From: Flash Company The Camels hump is an ugly lump, Which well you may see at the zoo, But uglier yet is the hump you get, From having too little to do, Kiddies and grown ups too-oo-oo, If we haven't enough to do-oo-oo We get the hump, Cameelious hump, The hump that is black and blue. We climb out of bed with a frouzly head, And a snarly-warly voice, We shiver and scowl and we grunt and we growl, At our bath and our boots and our toys And there should be a corner for me, (And I know that there's one for you) When we get the hump Cameelious hump, The hump that is black and blue. The cure for this ill is not to sit still, Or frowst with a book by the fire, But to take a large hoe and a shovel or so And dig till you gently perspire, And then you woll find that the sun and the wind, And the Djinn of the Garden too, Have lifted the hump, Cameelious hump, The hump that is black and blue!

21 Aug 07 - 01:11 PM (#2130476) Subject: RE: BS: Don't buy your wife a camel...! From: Charley Noble Here's a little more about the story but not much: Pet camel kills Australian woman while trying to have sex The Associated Press Published: August 19, 2007 BRISBANE, Australia: An Australian woman was killed by a pet camel given to her as a 60th birthday present after the animal apparently tried to have sex, police said Sunday. The woman, whose name was not released, was killed Saturday at her family's sheep and cattle ranch near Mitchell, 600 kilometers (350 miles) west of the Queensland state capital Brisbane, state police Detective Senior Constable Craig Gregory said. The 10-month-old male camel — weighing about 150 kilograms (330 pounds) — knocked the woman to the ground, lay on top of her, then exhibited what police suspect was mating behavior, Gregory said. "I'd say it's probably been playing, or it may be even a sexual sort of thing," Gregory said, adding the camel almost suffocated the family's pet goat by straddling it on several occasions. Camel expert Chris Hill said he had no doubt the camel's behavior was sexual. Hill, who has offered camel rides to tourists for 20 years, said young camels are not aggressive, but can be dangerous if treated as pets without discipline. The fate of the camel was not known. The woman was given the camel in March as a birthday present from her husband and daughter. "She had a love of exotic pets," Gregory said. Charley Noble |

26 Aug 07 - 10:47 PM (#2134228) Subject: RE: BS: Don't buy your wife a camel...! From: catspaw49 I wonder if it was a 7 Day or 14 Day camel......there is a difference. See, this guy I knew was planning a trip across the desert and he goes to the Hertz Rent-A-Camel joint and tells them he wants to rent one. The Hertz guy asks if he wants a 7 day or a 14 day camel. Well, the trip is for 16 days and the fellow can't figure out a way to shorten it. After much cajoling, the Hertz guy says, "I'll see what I can do." He walks over and selects a large 14 day camel and sticks its head in the water trough. As the camel is drinking, he goes into the Hertz Kiosk and returns with two bricks. The camel is almost full and ready to take its last slurp when the Hertz guy walks behind it. Then, with a powerful swing, he claps the 2 bricks together, smashing the camel's nuts in between. The camel goes 'SSLLLLLUUUOOOORRRRPPPSSSSHHH', and sucks up a ton more water. The Hertz guy walks around to the front and says, "There ya' go pal. That oughta' do it." My traveller friend is appalled. "JESUS CHRIST MAN!!!!!! Doesn't that HURT???"...to which the Hertz guy replies, "Nah........Not if you keep your thumbs out of the way." Spaw |
