Cite that there is an upper limit on smugness?
Needles are included. Camels are extra.
Since it’s taken so long to figure out how to do it, we should be able to assume that few if any of the Robber Barons made it.
Have you ever tried to get a camel into a helicopter? It’s almost as hard as getting one through the eye of a …

I would think that would depend on the size of the helicopter. You want a big cargo helicopter – a Chinook or something bigger, not a dinky Bell-47, like they used in MAS*H.
It’s just like Jaffee’s character commented about the needle – “So show me where it says what size helicopter?”
If the whole helicopter thing bothers you, put the camel on a cargo plane and use a bigger needle. Heck, you’re rich! and it’s much easier for a very rich man to make a camel go through the eye of a needle.
Not on Hump Day.
I’d walk a mile for a Camel.
Leave it to Al Jaffee to find a clever answer. 
Some Dopers may be able to answer this old elephant joke:
What’s harder than getting a pregnant elephant into a Volkswagen?
Camel through the eye of a needle? Damn, I’ve been doing it the wrong way. And here I was thinking it was dead easy, although I’ve got a lot of one-eyed camels.
I thought a great business model is to sell a service that would pass a recently fertilized camels egg (or zygote) though a needle before implanting it in the camels womb. The rich person on judgement day would have a specific camel to enter into evidence on his behalf. A hefty fee would be charged for this service* and if the camel died then the rich man could by another because always better to have the live one on hand for such a occasion.
- since the only obligation on the rich man was to pay money that he has in abundance the claim that it was very easy for the camel to pass though the eye of the needle justifies his wealth, he needed the wealth to make it easy, and thus it is easy for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
I like this idea, but it could end up with Pro-Camel-Life people screaming at Pro-Camel-Choice people. Plus the catholic church is against all that in vitro fertilization stuff.
I think it would be less controversial to pulp and juice adult camels rather then mess with helpless little camel babies.
I’d be curious how easy it is for a deeply religious Christian to get into Heaven after recommending that rich people be blended into goo and threaded through a needle hole.
It always seemed to me like if you believe that there’s a Heaven and a not-Heaven (e.g. Hell), then God’s got it in hand to deal with all the wealthy, gay, heathen, etc. people of the world without anyone else’s help here on Earth.
Maybe you could like, have a camel and name it Eye of the Needle, and have them crawl up his ass and see if they can come out his mouth?
I’ll wait for new new enhanced second-generation version of your product, the Turbo-Encamelator.
