Ahh. Well, you see, here's the thing. You know how if you live a righteous life you die and get the 72 virgins? Well, in your case when you die you're gonna get 72 Muslim camels.

Umm yeah, sorry. I forgot to mention that bit

The stress of a bad fit at work and the stress of quitting a job are similar and substantial, but quitting is the only one with an endpoint. You've chosen to be healthy and happy and that's wonderful. I am very, very happy for you, so glad to see you taking care of yourself. You're the chief person for that responsibility, good to see your success.

Congratulations!

Yes, but will they be *virgin* camels?

I think it's time to splurge on a sabbatical to the states! Do a massive roadtrip and visit all of us.

ZenG - I like the way you do things. You're a man of action, and you never really complained.

You get my vote.

U.S. Cavalry tried it, didn't work out. Horses were frightened of them, camels tend to be more willful, couldn't follow the rules of military discipline. Looks like the last sighting of the camels that went feral was in the 1940s. So either they died out, or they learned to hide better. Maybe you can get some in a closeout sale from a circus or zoo?

Thanks for all your kind words.

FFF, I was singing that song yesterday .

We have plenty of spare camels here, damn things have gone feral.

The idea of leaping off for a year or so of world travel is mighty tempting. No sudden decisions yet.

JUMP! c'mon over before you change your mind.

Swing by Bali, grab Casi and you two could come the the US and teach Australian as a second language.

Crikey, mate, I reckon that bloke'd be a dead-set drongo to do 'is block and chuck a wobbly over losin' some slack sheila that's six axe-handles across the arse and bangs like a dunny door in a cyclone. He orta cruise down the footy club and get outside some amber fluid, so as he's fully rat-arsed, then go for a bit of a hoon in the commodore, chuck a few donuts, do some burnouts, that'll sort 'im out, no wuckas, eh? She'll be right, whaddayareckon, eh?

I'm not sure you're ready for this, eh?

[footfootfoot]

Translation.

Damn, Dude, that guy's nuts to get all bent out of shape over losing some skanky, fat-ass bitch who's banging everyone like a screen door. He oughta go down to the VFW and get hammered, kcick some ass, do some donuts in the parking lot, lay a few burnouts. That'll get her off his mind.

In today's high tech world, mules have become hard to find (except in airports).

hoon = knucklehead, red neck, townie, white trash, ?
