RIYADH (Reuters) - Hundreds of camels have died in Saudi Arabia this week from a mystery ailment.

The Agriculture Ministry has said 232 camels died in the space of four days in the Dawasir Valley, 400 km (250 miles) south of Riyadh. King Abdullah has promised compensation for owners, who say the real number of deaths is far higher.

Agriculture ministry officials have denied an infectious disease caused the deaths and blamed them on animal feed supplied by food storage authorities.

Contrary to popular belief, it’s not difficult for an Arab to have sex with a camel. It’s getting the damned thing to face Mecca that poses a problem.

Maybe they were fed Camel Chow from China?

MOSSAD.

Bereft of their Indonesian camel boys, Saudi men will revert to heterosexuality, convert wholesale to Judaism, settle in Israel and vote in Palm Beach County, guaranteeing a Hilary victory in Florida.

Makes exactly as much sense as mihop.

Apparently our Saudi brethren don’t put too much stock in condoms.

I’ve never understood why camel toes seem to be so popular. Like most of the pictures I’ve seen, that one just doesn’t do a thing for me.

variation on an old joke.... a ventriliquist was walking through the desert when he saw an old bedoin by the side of the road with his donkey, his horse, and his camel. The ventriliquist thought he’d have some fun with the guy and turning to the donkey, asked him how his master treated him. Throwing his voice, he had the donkey say, “Oh, he’s a wonderful master, he takes very good care of me.” The bedoin was stunned. Turning to the horse, the ventriliquist asked him how he was treated and again throwing his voice, he made the horse say, “Oh, he’s great, feeds us well, not too much work. Very nice.” Again, the bedoin was speechless with amazement. The ventriliquist then turned to the camel and before he could ask the question, the bedoin said, “Camel lies.”
