It appears Billy no longer gets saluted by the privates, now that he's been demoted and all.
What is the world coming to?
I do believe the French Foreign Legion maintain a camel. I heard that a new recruit, after arriving at the unit he was stationed at and being shown around the barracks, enquired as to the availability of female companionship in the area, and was told "Oh, we use Muriel the camel over there". At first he was quite shocked and considered the very idea of having sex with a camel repulsive. As the weeks turned into months, however, and the new recruit was getting hornier and hornier, the idea was gradually beginning to grow on him, until, one night, in a fit of priapism, he ran out of the barracks and into the courtyard, wide-eyed and dishevelled, and, throwing his scruples to the winds, mounts the camel and begins pumping. Muriel understandably objects to the idea and begins bleating and making a racket which wakes up everyone, and they come out and see this guy humping the camel (bad pun intended), whereupon they forcefully and loudly ask him what the **** he thought he was doing. He, embarassed, whimpers "but you told me you use the camel every time you want a woman..."Etaqua said:Any other armies use anything like that?
British legislators were told last month that keeping the pets costs £30,000 ($55,000; €44,000) per year.
