Hump Day: Camel rescued from sinkhole...
... in Oregon?...
Firefighters are used to answering unusual calls for help, but it's probably safe to say that rescuing a 1,500-pound camel from a sinkhole is a first.
"It was was a little bit different than your typical cat in the tree," Lt. Jed Wachlin, of the Clackamas County, Oregon, fire department, told KPTV. "Nobody really believed it until we showed up."
Seems the camel, named Moses, tumbled into a sinkhole about 6 to 8 feet deep yesterday. He's one of several belonging to a family that runs a children's ministry. The family called the FD after failing to dislodge their dromedary.
Firefighters carefully shoveled mud for several hours to free Moses, who demonstrated great patience. He then lay on his side for an hour before getting up and heading back to his barn, apparently unhurt.

Never heard that one before..and thanks for the trivia too,Brit. I had no idea!
Did you know that there are more camels in Australia than in Arabia..
By the way, did you hear about the tourist who rents a camel from an old Bedouin, who tells him,"It's a very capricious animal, sometimes it stops and won't continue."
"What do I do then?"
"You take these two bricks I give you, and when it stops, you get down, walk behind it, and (*smash*) crush its balls between the bricks!"
"God, it must hurt terribly!"
"No, look, if you hold them this way, with your thumbs on the upper side, it doesn't hurt at all."
And such an adorable fella too...yalla Moses!
lol
apparently the guy is a pimp, he owns more than 1 camel.
Khanan, you may be right. Only one of Da's camels could be THAT lost :D
By the way, a survey carried out by the tobacco industry found that 99% of all men that use Camels still prefer women.
Strange world eh ?

An englishman an irishman and a scotsman were in the sweltering desert
walking around looking desperatly for something to eat and drink, when, as if out of nowhere, a camel appeared.
The englishman caught the camel and spluttered "I support Liverpool, so I suppose I better eat the liver."
The scotsman immediately shouted, "Well I support Hearts so I'll eat the heart."
And then the rather mentally challenged irishman said, "I support Arsenal, but I don't feel hungry any more."
i thought only arabs have camels hmmmmm
Actually, if you look closely, this camel is a British version without the usual water sack.. He's called HUMPHREY ! ................ Boom Boom :O)
