Mustafa and Ali were a couple of Bedouins who used to race their
camels. The problem was that's Ali's camel always won the race.
One night as they were sitting by the campfire drinking coffee,
Mustafa said to Ali, "Ali, my friend, we've known each other since
we were this high. Why, our parents before us were friends too.
Even our grandparents were friends!"
"That's true, Mustafa, my friend" replied Ali, throwing another
branch on the campfire. After a long silence, Mustafa says, "So
tell me, Ali, my good friend; How is it that whenever we race our
camels, yours always wins?"
"Simple" answers Ali, "My camels have no balls, so they can run
faster!"
"Really?" Mustafa is surprised. "How come they have no balls?"
"Because I remove them!"
"No camelshit! How do you do that?" asks Mustafa
"Well, Ali my good friend, this is how it's done: I take the camel
and sit him down. Then I drive a stake into the ground near each
of his legs, and tie him down. Then I call my eldest son Hamid -
you know him? - and I have him hold up the camel's tail." He lifts
up one arm to demonstrate.
"Yes, yes? And then what?" Mustafa is eager to know.
"Well then, my good friend Mustafa, I take two rocks, and hold
them, like so, on each side of the camel's balls, and smash them
together!"
"Ya Allah!" cries Mustafa. "But doesn't that hurt?"
"No," says Ali. "Not if you hold your thumbs on the outside."
