Man arrested for punching a camel on a dare at SFDK

What an idiot.

I'm glad he was arrested. It's amazing this guy was 24 years old. He was acting like a little kid! All of SFDK's camels are very sweet and can often be seen walking around the park for exercise. I hope they're alright.

^I've never heard of a camel referred to as sweet, but that brought a smile to my face. Not the punch the idea of sweet camels living at the park.

I hope that guy gets the book for that, what a coward. I used to think that it was just me getting old, but I'm convinced that the douche bag segment of the general population has been growing by leaps and bounds in the last few years. *** Edited 5/6/2008 3:30:59 AM UTC by Cropsey***

Is it just me or does "punching the camel" sound very dirty?

It's just you... ;)

I think camels actually get a bad rap. When I was a kid, I fed a camel at the Columbus Zoo. I must have been holding the food the wrong way (in my palm), because he took the opportunity to take my whole hand into his mouth. He could have very easily bit my limb off, but all he did was gently slurp the food.

Needless to say, I had to wash my hands about five times after that.

That guy must have seen Blazing Saddles one too many times.
