It's not a cow, it's a camel

besides that I do not think that camel used a bell that was pink floyd, I know because they loan it to Jean Michel Jarre for his millennium concert in Egypt

[Well, the camel wouldn't do any housework, fix the bikes etc, would it? ]

Neither does the husband, by all accounts.

Jab

True, but he does earn the money that pays for the internet, amogst others.

camel was indeed a very nice band. i saw them in concert once. in a former millenium...

a bell? would that be the division bell?

Aha, B'Elana, married him for his money, eh?

Jab

Sure, what else?

The camels!

They're on their way to you.

Then you must check your e-mail in a bit...

Oh, do I have to call them back?

I suppose it's too late to suggest sending you a Benshasha donkey? There is a choice of colours available at the moment and they are practically maintenance free!!

I'd only take El Gee.

Sorry - not for sale - not even for ready money. Anyway he's brown and too much the centre of attention in his little world to ever want to venture outside it.

It's good to know he's happy where he is.

a bit late, but tech probs had kept me offline a couple of days.

My advices:

1. get the bicycle to a place to get it repaired (ask them beforehand how much it will cost and get that in writing, just to make sure)
then feed the husband on potatoes and dry bread till the saved sum exacts the cost for repair

2. if the bike really can't get repaired, get a new one
then proceed as under no. 1

3. get rid of the husband, the money saving will be enough to get a new bike (and it's better for the nerves)

Ha, do you have any idea what potatoes weigh?

Oh, you know what a good housewife does if she sends her husband down to the cellar to fetch potatoes for dinner, and he trips on the stairs and breaks his neck?

She makes rice instead

I'm no longer surprised that KB was scared of you last night.

only last night

brave man
