I came second in the fancy dress contest, dressed as a giraffe.

OK, so I didn't win, but at least I can hold my head up high.

I always wanted to be a millionaire just like my Father.

He always wanted to be a millionaire too.

You may think I'm wrong stealing kitchen utensils.

But that's a whisk I'm willing to take.

A mathematician friend of mine has a phobia about negative numbers.

He'll stop at nothing to avoid them.

A baby camel, as youngsters will, is pestering her mother with questions.

Baby: Mum, why have I got these huge three toed feet?

Mum: Well son, when we trek across the desert your toes will help you to stay on top of the soft sand.

Baby: Mum, why have I got these great long eyelashes?

Mum: To keep the sand out of your eyes on the trips through the desert."

Son: Mum, why have I got these great big humps on my back

Mum: ( getting impatient ) To help us store water for our long treks across the desert"

Son: So we have huge feet to stop us sinking, long eyelashes to keep the sand from our eyes and humps to store water. So what the hell are we doing in London zoo?

Don't ask why the mother camel called her daughter "son" - something got lost in the translation :-D

Or why these camels have water in their humps.

[i] Wiki: Camels do not directly store water in their humps; they are reservoirs of fatty tissue. Concentrating body fat in their humps minimizes the insulating effect fat would have if distributed over the rest of their bodies, helping camels survive in hot climates. When this tissue is metabolized, it yields more than one gram of water for every gram of fat processed. [i]

Well, I've found out something new today. You're never too old to learn ;-)

[Mamyalynne]

True dat :-)
