Camel Time | 骆驼报时

点击查看中英对照 收藏文章

A tour bus in Egypt stopped in a town square. Tourists were shopping at the surrounding stalls. One tourist, whose watch was broken, leaned over to ask a local man squatting beside his camel, "What time is it, sir?"

The local reached out, gently cupped the camel's genitals in his hand, and lifted them up and down. "It's about 2:00," he said.

The astonished tourist ran back to the bus and confirmed it was indeed 2:00. He told his fellow travelers, "That man can tell time by the weight of the camel's genitals!"

A skeptical tourist went to verify. The same thing happened, and the time given was 2:05 p.m.

Finally, the bus driver, curious to know the secret, approached the local and asked how he did it.

The local replied, "Sit down here and grab the camel's genitals. Lift them up. Now, look underneath them to the other side of the courtyard, where that clock is hanging on the wall."
