When Saudis say they like their camels…
Monday, March 17th, 2008 by RebeccaThis is my first effort at blogging, we’ll see how long it lasts given my current amount of leisure time. And yet somehow it seems appropriate that with the major life changes that I’ve experienced in the last 2 weeks, the first thing I’m inspired to post about is camel sex. I should point out that I doubt the author thought he was writing about any such thing…but can you really blame me for thinking it with comments like this:
“You can go out for the day, two or three hours out of Riyadh, have lunch, play with the camels, have tea, say the sunset prayer in the desert…Camels are a gentleman’s pastime.”
The full article has more gems…
Suddenly, Mr. Shammari grabbed the white camel’s chin and kissed it square on the mouth. “When you get to know the camels, you feel love for them. My camels are like my children, my family.”
…including some that make you question the relationship he has with his children, his family…
