#4 I heard they prefer goats to camels, because you don't have to walk around the front to kiss them.

#5 Goats don't spit at you either.

#6 Well, we do have the Westminster Dog Show. Now, do you remember the 2002 show, when they paid tribute to the rescue dogs who had worked at the World trade center? Quite moving. The Saudis would never understand that!

#7 Somehow, based on the picture in #2, I can't see how "camel" and "beauty" can be part of the same sentence.

#8 Throughout history camels have served multiple purposes as food, friend, transport and war machine.

And sometimes, much more than just a "friend".

Bedouin Arabs are intimately connected to camels

Usually after dark.

Arabic famously has over 40 terms for different types of camel.

Besides "hottie" and "vixen" they also include such endearments as "sweetheart", "honey" and "darling".

Some females have harnesses strapped around their genitalia to thwart any efforts by the males to mount them.

Some guys just can't be bothered to wait at the stage door like other fans.

#10 Well, we do have the Westminster Dog Show

Yeah, but I'll be it's not a beauty contest!

I wonder what the reaction is when Mohamhead the judge picks an ugly camel . . . .
