I'd limp a mile to avoid a camel (jocky).

Muslims introduced the first condoms made from goat gut. The Chinese later perfected them by removing them from the goats.

First the Muslims came for the goats. Then the Muslims came for the sheep. Then they came for the camels.
“For” or “in” - Muslims/multi-culti is so confusing ......

Google "camel beauty contest" (web and/or image) for the explanation.
Camels in g-string & make-up, and women in upholstery.
Add to that monkeys as AIDS virus source and we can fully appreciate how much we owe to diversity.
