When they arrived they rented the last camel Avis rent a camel had. They road through the desert all day and only found one small stone, I believe it was an ordinary chondrite probably an L-5. When night time fell, they set up their camp. When they woke up the next day they were surrounded by sleeping Nomads and hundreds of camels. Wanting an early start they set off to find their camel, but all the camels looked the same! One of the collectors said I know, our camel is different than the rest of the camels and started to walk along and lift all of the camels tails. The other collector asked " what are you doing"? The first collector responded; Yesterday when we passed some Nomads I heard on of them say " look at the two A_ _ - holes on that camel!<BR><BR><BR>Tom</P> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: <a href='http://g.msn.com/1HM1ENUS/c156??PI=44364'>Click Here</a><br></html> Received on Fri 20 Sep 2002 01:04:57 PM PDT |
