Two Arab Men, Abdul and Mohammed, are driving their camel
across the
desert. At the last two oases, the camel has refused to
drink, and is now
quite dry. They fear he will die of dehydration. They
reach one more
oasis, and after Abdul and Mohammed have slacked their
thirst, they start
to work on getting the camel to drink. No amount of
urging, cursing, or
beating the camel sticks will get him to drink the
water.
Finally, in desperation, Mohammed tells Abdul: "We will
force him to drink.
I will grab his ears and push his head down into the
water. Meanwhile, you
go around the back and suck.' Abdul agrees, and they
begin the plan.
After several minutes have passed, Mohammed asks
Abdul: "How are things
coming back there?" Abdul replies: "I think you have his
head too low, all
I am getting is mud!"
