Camel Charge

A new lieutenent in the French Foreign Legion arrives at an isolated base in Algeria. As a corporal shows him is quarters, he asks the corporal:

- The base is rather isolated, what do the men do for female companionship?

The corporal replies:

- On Fridays, they let us use the camels.

The lieutenent can't beleive it. On Friday, he stands around the camel pen to see what happens. Suddenly, he hears the camp bugler blow a charge on his horn.

The ensuing chaos was amazing... men from all over the camp decended on the camel pens like huns attacking a village. Out of the swarm of men, the lieutenent sees the same corporal he met on his first day. He grabs the man by the arm. The corporal shouts:

- Let me go! Let me go!

- Good God man - said the lieutenent

- There are 200 men here and 500 camels. What's your hurry?

The corporal replied:

- I don't want to get stuck with an ugly one!
