I’m still wishing I had done proper research about which COVID shots I should have gotten. I’ve not suffered from the plague but I am still not magnetic and I keep dropping needles all over the place. My mother in Boise brings up the dropping needles thing to her neighbors all the time, but it never seems to sink in. ---

I gather the answer you’re looking for is: You’ve got all those above-mentioned needles now, so put the camels through their eyes? ---

Ahh, thanks, those camels were bothering me. I was almost convinced it was posted to the wrong thread… . Wasn’t it G. K. Chesterton who said of the _eye of the needle_ parable: “But what of the poor camel, stretched out until it’s a few atoms wide, all bloody and stringy?” ---

> [@digs](#): > > “But what of the poor camel, stretched out until it’s a few atoms wide, all bloody and stringy?” I always pictured it as them somehow having gotten the camel nearly all the way through, but someone tied a knot in its tail, so it got stuck. So close though! ---

My dad used to be able to tie a knot in a Camel. He’d do it as sort of a parlor trick at family gatherings. The trick was to first roll it up in the cellophane from the outside of the pack. Sometimes he’d do it with a Kent. ---

I had to look that one up, as I’d never heard of it. This is the first hit. It takes almost three minutes to get to the trick, but it was entertaining enough.

@kaylasdad99 and @Johnny_L.A ick! science is bad! 😉 I could do the cherry stem knot back in the day. I was a soda jerk in the 80’s -90’s … 1980’s- 1990’s … so had access to a lot of Maraschino Cherries. Crap, almost forgot the video: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/XFqv-QOSDfg/maxresdefault.jpg "BROOKE SHIELD'S FAMOUS CHERRY STEM KNOT on 'LENO'") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFqv-QOSDfg) ---
