Last night my best friend suggested we try a three-way, but I needed to take my pet llama for exercise. While I was doing that, another friend called and said she needed me right away to get her equipment in order. I let my llama go and kayaked over right away to her yurt. Do you think I was being unreasonable? [:dubious:](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=14633785&postcount=17) ---

I think a three-way would have been ample exercise for your pet llama. And if it went anything like similar trysts I’ve had with my yak you would still have had time to help your other friend with her equipment. I mean, I’m not judging or anything, but what kind of kayak do you own? Is it plastic or seal skin? ---

It depends. By “equipment” did she mean her scuba gear or her buzz saw? ---

I think I know from whence this springs, and a better outlet for any annoyance you may be feeling, **Covered\_In\_Bees!** , is the BBQ Pit. And if I’m wrong, it’s too incomprehensible to live. Thread closed. ---

Do you think I was being unreasonable? [:dubious:](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=14633785&postcount=17) I know in this forum we aren’t allowed to call YOU a jerk, but let me just say this is a very jerkish thing to do. For god’s sake I at least hope your llama was spayed or neutered! I love llamas as much as the next guy, but the issue of stray llamas won’t go away with people like you around. I had a wonderful stray mama llama living under my porch, but because she wasn’t spayed she had countless baby llamas that ended up who knows where (I hate to think what happened to many of them). Please don’t let your llamas go people. ---

Just make sure you take your llama to the [dentist](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgkYHhG18uc) regularly. ---

Context, sheesh, nothing to see here folks since the OP has an obvious typo. Calling on a mod to fix it. “Lama” and not “llama” m’kay - the former live in Mongolia and the latter do not. But thanks for playing.
