Camel Beauty Contests

[andy-hughes]

Yes, I know it sounds like a contradicition in terms, but the present Mrs Hughes iworking over in Abu Dhabi. amd they are a very big deal there.

How would you catagorise a camel as 'beautiful'? - Prepre to be educated -

Large head
Firm ears
Long eyelashes
Bottom lip hangs down
Nose has an arch
Neck is long
Back is high
Back is wide enough for a saddle
Hump is large and symmetrical
Fur is shiny
Toes are nicely parted

so next time you go for a camel ride, you can discuss the finer points of your camel with its handler, who will doubtless be impressed with your knowlege!

Trouble is they soon get the hump if they don't win..;-)

Oh Gawd......I think I'm a camel ...hold on hump is large and symmetrical, mine's not, more like two humps not symmetrical. Can't be a camel then. Phew.

Camels they were quite a good smoke !.

As I recall, the only brand that had a picture of the factory on the front of the packet!

I tried to go for a camel ride in Egypt.

the camel knelt down, i clambered on, It stood up- I fell off :(

[tonyav]

Yep, I think you are right andy. They did pong a bit though didn't they.

Bactrian begins with B
Dromedary begins with D

Turn them on their side - two humps and one hump.

[B00]

jno, that's very clever!

Be a bit worried if any man I knew was discussing camels in terms of relative attractiveness... Now Alpacas and Guanacos... they are cute
