Mwa, Mwa.
Promotion complete!
That's a terrible wart you have on your chin EV. You must have it removed the moment we get back to the fort.

That sounds like fighting talk. Let's go down zis pass and see whether it leads to the oasis. If we come across any unfriendly natives I will promote you to sergeant.

*Examines EV closely*
Your saluting arm is not the regulation length. It is two centimes short of a soupcon. No wonder you are striking yourself in the mouche. Here take this needle and thread and sew a couple of extra centimes into the sleeve of your jacket.
D'accord, where is my camel handler and I need the chef. We msut stop and eat the picnic before we go any further.

Duke has fallen a long way behind on his hobbledy horse. I expect he's got it.
Right we need to check our weapons. I have this gun on the end of a lanyard which goes round my neck. Sadly some of the lanyard was eaten by my horse but I have managed to re tie the ends together. It is now more like a choker so I will 'ave to be careful I don't shoot my 'at off when I come to fire ze pistol.

*jumps up and down trying to see over the camel*

Dr E Vibenstein (You know it is, it really is.) Posted Mar 23, 2004
Why don't you make the camel sit down again?

Lady Pennywhistle - Back with a vengeance! [for a certain, limited value of Vengeance; actual amounts of Vengeance may vary] Posted Mar 23, 2004
Because I don't like swallowing flies?

Dr E Vibenstein (You know it is, it really is.) Posted Mar 23, 2004
Fair enough. There must be an easier way...

Lady Pennywhistle - Back with a vengeance! [for a certain, limited value of Vengeance; actual amounts of Vengeance may vary] Posted Mar 23, 2004
I guess so...
Sit!
*no reaction*
S'asseoir!
*no reaction*
Ijlis!
*no reaction*
*looks into the camel's eyes* listen, let's be practical, fella. We can't work like that, I'm supposed to be a camel handler! Do you have any idea what it looks like when I have to swallow a fly to make you do anything? Not good for me, not good for you. Now, if you ever want to get a job in this town, please sit down when I tell you to, okay?
*no reaction*
Camel... sit.
*camel kneels down*
By golly, I think he got it!

The Duke of Dunstable Posted Mar 23, 2004
*Huffing and puffing and sitting in a dangerous angle on the horse, Duke catches up*
Uhm, Vestie, sir! It would appear as if my only weapon is this stick that I stole from Sidney Kidney. I've also purchased this helmet from the retired Olaf The, er, Hesitant. But I sure wouldn't mind a pwetty hefty and large and intimidating pistol.
Also, EV, the bricks you attached to the ends of the horses legs make quite an unpleasant and loud noice. If we ever find ourselves in a position where we have to sneak up on somebody, I fear my vehicle will give us away.

Ok Duke you can have my pistol. I have another weapon about my person.
*Bang!*
Drat. I have just shot my 'at off!
*struggles with lanyard choker and eventually disengages from it*
Here Duke you can have it. You might want to find a longer piece of string.
Have you brought ze pique nique?
