Camel sits on woman
2005-05-19
It's that time of year again when we get a rash of camel-sittings. Edited for brevity.
SHINNSTON, W.Va. - A 1,500-pound camel picked an unfortunate place to take a breather. A woman called for help on her cell phone Wednesday after a camel sat on top of her while she was painting a fence.
Remember: Camel/latex--GOOD! Camel/enamel--BAD!
"Camel, enamel, bo-famel..."
Firefighters and the camel's owner helped move the animal off the woman, who was having trouble breathing, ambulance driver Brent Hicks said. "There is no protocol on something like this," he said.
Camels--Why do they hate us?

#7  Don't feel bad, TH - camels hate everyone, even other camels. Nasty bastards. You'll be amused to know, perhaps, that it was an Arab that told me they only respect force, heh.

I guess cow-tipping techniques just aren't good enough.
