A man wanted to have a camel all his life. Working hard at his business and retiring on a sizable income, he decided to indulge his fantasy and buy a camel one day.

Many weeks went by and he was thoroughly enjoying riding his camel around town when one day he awoke, stepped out to the barn he had built for his mount and found the camel gone.  He looked all over the neighborhood for the camel and asked the neighbors if they had seen it, but all replied no, so he decided he must call the police and report it.

"Police. What's your emergency?" asked the 911 operator.

"My camel's been stolen." said the man.  "I want to report it."

"Please describe the animal." said the sergeant.

"What's to describe?" said the man.  "It's a camel."

"What color is the animal sir?" asked the officer.

"What color do you think?  It's camel colored." said the man becoming slightly exasperated.

"And what sex is the animal?" asked the officer.

"Sex?  Gee, I'm not sure.  I never did ask.  Wait a minute, I know now.  It's male." said the man.

"Are you sure sir?" inquired the officer.  "How is it that you know the sex of the animal?"

"Because every time I go out riding the animal.." continued the man, "everyone would point and shout out: 'Look at the schmuck on that camel'".
