No, this information comes from a camel trainer. The camel will walk in smaller and smaller circles until it finally stops...at least long enough for one to jump off.

I don't joke about camels.

Yeah, I almost went into camel training. Talk about a hard major to get into. Everyone wanted into that field!

Do you know how to milk a billy goat?

Yeah, but there's not much point in it. The transgender operation that is a prerequisite for such a thing is astronomically expensive. There is gene splicing involved. Too much trouble.

Wow, me too.

Imagine the sight of a Zooby and a gray alien training a camel. Now you don't see that every day!

Actually here is the source: How to stop a runaway camel from Phillip Gee, a safari operator that leads nature tours by camel in Australia.

Would you like to know how to crash land a plane on water?

Would you like to know how to crash land a plane on water?

Only by remote control.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Did you know that if you're going to jump from a moving train, you should always move to the last car before jumping?

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Only by remote control.

It is most important that you land heading into the back side of the waves. Never land a plane in the water while heading into the face of the waves. You really should write that one down.

Almost forgot: When it comes to camels, you want to pull on the right reign. Also, eventually the camel will get tired and sit down. That's when you jump off.

 

[jimmy p]

do you have to go to the end of the camel to jump off?

I love you Chopnik. You crack me up so BAD!

 

[Ivan Seeking]

do you have to go to the end of the camel to jump off?

Yes, depending on the camels diet that day, jumping off the rear usually makes for a softer landing.

If crossing a Piranha-infested river on foot, always cross between midnight and three AM. Then walk or swim very quietly since you don't want to wake the little fishes.

I think I've posted this somewhere before, but every time I see or hear the word 'Piranha', I have to tell this story.

From an actual classified ad in my hospital employee weekly newspaper:

For Sale: Piranha Fish - $5.00 each. Also - free to good home - three-legged cat named Betsy.



edit: wow. weird. that space thing happened again. (see above)

 

[Ivan Seeking]

My only defense is that these are all completely legitimate.

Systems Integration work is dangerous these days.

Also - free to good home - three-legged cat named Betsy.

Did we ever get rid of old Betsy, or did she just keep getting smaller and smaller...

 

[Tsu]

I'm not sure. She DID just kind of disappear, didn't she?...

I couldn't have read this at a better time. I have to be at work at 7:00 tomorrow morning. That's probably not as bad as some people have it, but it's hard for me. I do want to be a morning person. Just a couple of years ago, during the summer, I would get up at 7:00 or 7:30, just to get up. Actually, it meant that I would have more time during the day to do what I want. Now, that I'm working about five days a week, I'd rather sleep until at least 10:30.

... check your late evening eating habits. Eating high protein (foods) is the key to waking up and being alert to your days duties. Cut out all means of sugar if you can. If not, try to stop sugar intake several hours before hitting the night bed for your several hours of rest. Also, dinner meals should consist of eating a type of green veggie for the night. And most of all... buy a GOOSE DOWN FEATHER PILLOW to cuddle with. <shrug> or a good man! ~Werdas Check out these sites for a good feather pillow: (see: smartbargins.com or overstock.com to buy one online)
