At least it’ll be more entertaining than any of the Super Bowl week events. Flag camel racing anyone?

The camel racing would be a lot more exciting if they'd give the riders the swords before the race and let 'em have at it...

Here I am participating in last year’s Kuwait camel race.
I was disqualified because I would not surrender my rifle.

His name was Humphrey.

A man was riding through the desert on his camel. He had been traveling so long that he felt the need to have sex. Obviously there were no women in the desert, so the man turned to his camel.

When he tried to position himself to have sex with his camel, the camel ran away. The man ran to catch up to the camel and got back on and started to ride again. Soon he was feeling the urge to have sex again so once again he turned to his camel. The camel refused and started running away again. So, he caught up to it again and go on it again.

Finally after riding the camel through the whole desert the man came to a road. There was a broken down car with three big chested beautiful blondes sitting in it. He went up to them and asked the women if they needed any help.

The hottest girl said, “If you fix our car we will do anything you want.” The man luckily knew a thing or two about cars and fixed it in a flash. When he finished are three girls asked, “How could we ever repay you mister.” After thinking for a short while he replied, “Could you hold my camel?”

“camel racing”

Is that like “submarine races”?

Which comes first, the sub or the camel?

Cool.

I went to camel races in Kuwait once. It wasn’t the big International race, but it was pretty dang fun. And it was early spring when the weather was still pleasant.

The only camel races that matter are the annual Virginia City Camel Races.

Nothing else compares...

I’ll only watch camel races if Taylor Swift is there in the audience.
