Mar. 18, 2008 | This is from a New York Times story about raising camels in Saudi Arabia -- in which several camel owners compare their animals to "beautiful girls":
"'See this one?' [Mr. Shammari, a camel breeder] asked, pointing to a white female camel with long eyelashes and a calm gaze. 'She isn't married yet, this one. She's still a virgin. Look at the black eyes, the soft fur. The fur is trimmed, so it's short and clean, just like a girl going to a party.'
Suddenly, Mr. Shammari grabbed the white camel's chin and kissed it square on the mouth."
