Six Flags patron arrested after punching camel on a dare
Christopher Allen, 24, was dared by a friend to enter a restricted area of Six Flags Discovery Kingdom where the animal was kept and punch it. He did it, then tried to run. Cops caught him, though. (Vallejo Times-Herald)

He's not as good as the Governator was in the 2nd Conan movie when he punched a camel and knocked it out.

I'm guessing alcohol was involved? Or just stupidity?

So that's what the kids are calling it now? Back in my day it was "flogging the dolphin," "spanking the monkey," or "pounding the flounder." "Punching the camel" is a new one to me.
Wait, what?

Sterilize him.

How's the camel?

Jailed for punching the camel, Christopher wasn't sure how to take his burly cellmate's question.
"One hump or two?"

HEY LEAVE THE CAMEL ALONE....KILL CATS.

At least he didn't try to molest it. But, I guess Camels are a great bit taller than Cows...

Camel's are unfriendly, ill tempered beasts that could 'F' you up if so inclined. This fool got off lucky.

I like the way the article says after he escaped from park security, he tried to escape with his f-i-e-n-d-s.
That they are.

Tie him up and give him to the Camel!

That's right elchamp. And Llamas, too. I've related this before, but when I worked at a zoo in high school/college, one entertaining thing to do was watch unsuspecting vistors go up to "Frank the Llama" and try to touch him. When you saw the ears to go back, you knew a facefull of Llama spit was on its way.

That will be a funny story for him and his fiends to tell someday soon. Right now, its just a stupid thing to do.

Fiends--LOL--and the story is about a camel--maybe the guy's a nicotine fiend. I wonder if the camel was filtered or non-filtered.

Nice Kritter, is that before, after, or during the shower?

LFP--I can't comment for NK, but apparently (and I only know this from a post from another thread), that in Dick Taster's case, if would be none of the above.
