Gelding Ahmed's Camel

As a merchant in the caravan business, Ahmed was well aware that a neutered camel can go longer and further without water than one which has not been neutered. But although he knew he was losing money, he couldn't bear the thought of inflicting such pain on his lead camel, which was really more of a pet than a beast of burden.

Walking through a bazaar one day he found the solution to his dilemma: a sign which read, "CAMELS GELDED WITHOUT PAIN." Making inquires of the stall's proprietor, he was assured that the operation was quick and absolutely painless. There would be no suffering. A price was negotiated and the merchant returned the next day with his favorite camel in tow.

The camel gelder picked up two bricks, approached the camel from the rear, took aim, and smashed the bricks together with a sound like a thunderclap. With a bellow of agony, the camel collapsed to its knees.

The merchant was horrified. "You promised it would be painless!" he cried, cradling his camel's head.

"Well, it is," explained the gelder, "so long as you don't get your
thumbs caught between the bricks."
