French President Receives New Camel After First Eaten

American VoicesOpinion ISSUE 49•15 Apr 11, 2013

The government of Mali will give French president Francois Hollande a “bigger and better-looking” camel as a gift for France’s help in defeating Muslim rebels after the original camel, which Hollande left with a family in Timbuktu, was promptly killed and eaten in a stew. What do you think?

  • “Great, now you’ve got me all hungry for camel.”

  • “I’m a little confused about the etiquette here. How long can someone leave their camel at your house before you’re allowed to eat it?”

  • “See, that’s why I always make sure to keep a close watch on my camel, because otherwise—oh, no, Annabelle!”
