I was tempted to ask how many camels is the going price for a woman in Marrakesh but thought the better of it considering the company.
Reminds me of the guy who joined the French Foreign Legion and was sent to the Sahara Desert. After a while, he asked his fellow soldiers what they did for "companionship". They told him there was a local down the road that had a camel he could use for $10. Initially, the man was disgusted but after a few months he relented and went to see the local and gave him $10 and then went to the barn and "engaged" with the camel, who promptly squealed. The owner came running back and screamed "WTF are you doing?". The soldier replied "I assume the usual, what do all the other soldiers do? The owner responded "They all take the camel, ride it into town and find a woman"
