The new French Captain was assigned to an American Regiment in a remote post

in the Iraq desert. During his first inspection, he noticed a camel hitched up behind

the mess tent. He asks the American Sergeant why the camel is kept there.

"Well, sir" is the nervous reply. "As you know, there are 250 men here and no

women. And sir, sometimes the men have m-m-m....urges. That's why we have

the camel, sir." The French Captain says, "I can't say that I condone this, but I

understand about urges, so the camel can stay." About a month later, the Captain

starts having a real problem with his own urges. Crazy with passion, he asks the

American Sergeant to bring the camel to his tent. Putting a stool behind the

camel, the Captain stands on it, pulls down his pants, and has

wild, insane sex with the camel. When he is done, he asks the Sergeant, "Is that

how the Americans do it?" "Uh, no sir", the Sergeant replies. "They usually just

ride the camel into town where the girls are."
