Sounds like ol' Hassanal had to choose between the wife and his trusty camel.

Like most in that region, it was no contest and undoubtedly the will of the sand demon known as allah.

Any pics of the camel?

Watch out ladies...

Give it a rest. Folks like you are a HUGE embarrassment to FR.

Go hang out on Yahoo! Groups or somewhere like that.

Isn't Brunei on the northwest side of Borneo? Certainly a muslim country, but perhaps camels are not well suited for the rainforest.

A little edgy because we haven't licked any jackboot lately?

Or do you simply support the demon, allah?

Or do you simply believe that we shouldn't make fun of who our "leaders" tell us the enemy is?

I personally think your humor is stupid, but a lot of other FReepers appreciate it. In fact, Illbay loves it; because it gives him another excuse to be critical of others.

[Illbay]

Oh, it's funny. But not as funny as my five-year-old's "poop" jokes.

I personally think your humor is stupid....

LOL! You'd also probably think that I fart too loud and pick my nose too much, but that's perfectly all right. Different strokes for different folks.

In fact, Illbay loves it; because it gives him another excuse to be critical of others.

Illbay does seem to have a penchant for annoying many posters here.

As for loving it? I sort of doubt it since it doesn't involve jackboots.

I take it back. You ARE funny (except for your bodily noises).
