My dad and i are still upset she didn't accept, we wanted our camel ranch, goddammit!

That's not a bad deal...
You'd obviously have to help her fake her death afterwards to escape the marriage but after that you have 100 camels...

But then you would probably have to share the camels with her. :/

Even then 100 camels in a 3 way split.
Either everyone gets a share in the camel ranch or you split the camels evenly and you start your own camel farm with 33 camels or maybe 66 if your partners join you...

you just saved her from a forced marriage that you definately had nothig to do with I think camels would be the least of her concerns

**Bullockist**

Personally if i had 100 camels (after i bumped off my dad) i'd send her a new burqua every month, whether she needed it or not!

Now this is capitalism as it was intended to be...

Look at the guy who helped us find Osama. His "reward" was to be thrown in jail in Pakistan. Did he ever get a dime of the potential bounty money? I have this strange feeling that the bounty money is never really paid.

So, even if you did turn in the President, I don't think you would ever see your ten camels, or your twenty chickens.

They're only asking for information about him...
You could tell them his star sign and get the camels...

If you knew his time of birth you could do his full horoscope. I guess you'd need to have a look at his birth certificate for that though.

Darn, I can't read Swahili

**Bullockist**

I'm sure his birth certificate would be interesting reading if you could read swahili

What they are hoping for is info on foreign visits to third world countries.

I just can't take this seriously.

But ok, lets say one of his secret service is out at the pub picking up some ladies. Then drunk off his butt someone asks him to sell out the pres for 10 camels. Now when you're drunk enough this will sound like an awesome idea, so he does it.

The next morning either he probably confesses and they change the presidents plans, But if he doesn't, then what he tries to get 10 camels through customs? or he invites everyone over to his hotel for a BBQ with a camel on the grill
or lets say you hack the presidents phone, and sell him out. you get your 10 camels, the cops show up to talk to you. (assuming they just don't launch a drone at you)

cops "did you sell out the pres?"
you, "no, not me"
Cops, "what are those camels doing in your backyard."
you, "so whats cuba like this time of year?"

do they put camels on their money and a camel is a million dollar note, you know like the looney?
The whole thing is just funny. It would be funnier still if we could get this guys email address, then we share it around facebook, and everyone in america starts emailing this guy and asking for their camels. Or who wouldn't think Obama was awesome if in his next speech he says "I'm right here, bring me my camels in person, we'll have a beer at my place and cook em up."

Because the offer is totally not aimed at people who don't live in the US who might know something and that could actually put the Camels to use?

Now, the real question is: one hump or two?

**Grey Templar**

I'd take a mix of both. 1 hump for cruizing, 2 humps for picking up chicks

**Ma55ter_fett**

Not gonna happen, Ma55terFett can't be bought!
