Camel Found
A Kuwaiti man reported to Naeem police that when he got out of his house, he saw a camel lying before his car and he tried to move the camel but it did not move. Police moved to the scene and discovered that the camel belonged to another Kuwaiti man and it fled its den recently.
My comment: I used to see camels all the time in Qatar. I have NEVER seen a single camel in Kuwait. I know they are around, just not in any of the places I have been. I haven’t even been to the camel races here!
But camels are BIG, and they are nasty-tempered. You gotta love a guy who sees a camel “before his car” and tries to move the camel. I am guessing the paper meant to say that he tried to MAKE the camel move, but the vision I have is this be-thobed, be-gutra’d guy trying to shove a camel away from his car. It just gives me a huge grin. Very brave man!

hahaha I can imagine it, too!
we did see a camel – last summer, at the Kut Mall, perched in the flatbed of someone’s pick-up truck. I have photos on my old mobile phone to prove it :-)!
You are right, Little Diamond, I totally forgot.
LOL
If I ever stepped out and saw a Camel in my front yard I’d tie a leash arround it’s neck and take it for a walk in the nieghbourhood ๐
of course after I take lots of pictures of it laying down all comfy on my lawn ๐
I love animals.. had all sorts of pets..
but never owned a camel !
I saw many camels when living in Kuwait!! But one laying in front of a car now thatโs what I would say is a scene that shouldnโt be missed!!! That is so funny, the way you say it!! ๐
DiiGMaa – ooooohhhh, you are one brave lady! I would love to see you taking a camel for a walk around the neighborhood! ๐
Noracassandra – just imagine! You need to get to work and a camel is blocking your way! *dying laughing* You think the boss is going to believe him?
try to take a drive to subiya and u will see herds of camels
I can’t believe you haven’t seen a camel yet here.
Just come to work with me one day and you’ll see loads an loads crossing the street, blond black and white ones.
Camels spit. I hate camels. As rude as a llama. They spit too. I was chased into a pool by a turkey once. I hate turkeys, they taste good though.
Camels are silly creatures! ๐
*laughing hysterically at image of guy pulling camel*
Fonz, I think I need to see Subiya!
Elijah – Little Diamond reminded me we DID see one, in the back of a truck at the Al Kout mall. Yeh, I need to go to work with you and meet all those old goats you are teaching!
MiniR – I’m sorry for laughing, but the mental image of you being chased into the pool by a turkey is just too much!
Kinan, I am SO happy to see you again. You were greatly missed.
