Camel Beauty Contests

[andy-hughes]

Yes, I know it sounds like a contradicition in terms, but the present Mrs Hughes iworking over in Abu Dhabi. amd they are a very big deal there.

How would you catagorise a camel as 'beautiful'? - Prepre to be educated -

Large head
Firm ears
Long eyelashes
Bottom lip hangs down
Nose has an arch
Neck is long
Back is high
Back is wide enough for a saddle
Hump is large and symmetrical
Fur is shiny
Toes are nicely parted

so next time you go for a camel ride, you can discuss the finer points of your camel with its handler, who will doubtless be impressed with your knowlege!

Which version of camel are we talking about here?

[tinkerbell23]

Theyre cute!!

Howard!? The camel-toe!? Lol x

[kawakiri]

Nicely parted camel toe, ooh er!

[237SJ]

A nice camel is one that doesn`t spit at you.

[jno]

they'll be dromedaries in the UAE, won't they?

[tinkerbell23]

Pmsl. Xx

[starone]

Have camels got one hump or two? Or is that dromedaries?

[HowardKennitby]

bactrian(2) and dromedary(1) are both camels.

[HowardKennitby]

although in Abu Dhabi it is more likely to find dromedary.

[237SJ]

Dromedaries are the ones you see in the Middle East. One time, I was travelling in a taxi between Fujairah and Dubai. Ahead of us there was an open-backed truck. Sitting on the back of the truck were a couple of camels. Every time the truck went round a right hand corner, the camels leaned to the right and when the truck went round a left hand corner the camels leant to the left. That was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. I wish I had my camera.

what was the joke about a camel and two bricks

[Wharton]

No one has ever seen a baby camel.

[Lie-in King]

owdhamer - do you really want the joke?

[cupid04]

yes, he does!

[Lie-in King]

cupid - I asked because the one I found is so poor, it shouldn't be called a joke, but here you are -

A tourist rents a camel from an old Bedouin, who tells him,
"It's a very capricious animal, sometimes it stops and won't continue."
"What do I do then?"
"You take these two bricks I give you, and when it stops, you get
down, walk behind it, and crush its b@lls between the bricks!"
"God, it must hurt terribly!"
"No, look, if you hold them this way, with your thumbs on the top, it doesn't hurt at all."

Sigh...

[cupid04]

I've heard better, I've heard worse. But at least I didn't die of curiosity!

[Lie-in King]

:-) Good night cupid, good night all - be well

[Wharton]

In reality you need 3 bricks, first of all you balance the bricks in a pyramid fashion, then you quickly remove the middle brick, letting it fall between the other two and then you, ah work it out for youselves!
