Camels?

Why are camels called "Ships Of The Desert"?

(I tell you tomorrow if you don't know the answer. Not PC!)

Perhaps they all are given female names by their owners...?

Sorry, I could not resist...

Because they are full of Arab semen?

Martin,

It's just some of the local knowledge I picked up from my months in arabic north africa.

And if the camels are the "ships of the desert", I guess goats are the "life-boats", cause they're also full of arab semen!
