We went to the Zoo last weekend, and saw the Bactrian camels out and about (that’s the two-hump kind). Most of their humps looked sadly deflated, as if they needed a fill-up from the tire pump at the local gas station. One camel had one hump flopping one way, and the other flopping on the other side. Another had both humps flopping _extremely_ far over on the same side. It look …unaesthetic. One of those things you never see in the movies. Does anyone make a Camel Wonder-Bra? ---

Oh, Og! I didn’t search hard enough – Someone _does_ make a camel bra. Look here under Texas Monthly: [http://www.reference.com/search?q=Bactrian’s](http://www.reference.com/search?q=Bactrian's) ---

Yeah, I know what you mean. I’m always disappointed when I try to smoke one of those Bactrians, too. Damned things won’t fit in the ashtray.
