Just the image of a camel water skiing makes me laugh. And the other one is hilarious too.

I'd like to think that most unauthorized access to groins would be prohibited...... :)

Very funny

No problem, Canadian Mark. There's another old English joke, "That's no lady, that's my wife." [Fortunately she does not read my blog!]

You still won't get me skiing even with a camel to escort me! Oh yes, and I've tagged you at my blog :-)
