SHINNSTON, W.Va. -- A 1,500-pound camel picked an unfortunate place to take a breather.

A woman called for help on her cell phone Wednesday after a camel sat on top of her while she was painting a fence.

Firefighters and the camel's owner helped move the animal off the woman, who was having trouble breathing, ambulance driver Brent Hicks said.

"There is no protocol on something like this," he said.

The names of the woman and the camel's owner were not released.

I've mistaken a woman painting a fence for a chair before.</i>

"There is no protocol on something like this," he said.

ROFL!

What's a camel doing in WVA?

One thing about moose, even though they weigh up to 1500 pounds, they won't sit on a person. They might stomp on a person or pack him into the bermpile, but they won't sit on him.

camels are disgusting and mean things with fleas and they hate everything else around them. Kind of just like the people who ride them.

Camels and fences along with paint....all in one story. That has to be a non-sequitour kind of record.
