- A donkey and a camel stopped to chat for a minute when they ran into each other on the street, but it turned out to be an utterly one-sided conversation. The donkey dominated the discussion—going on and on and on about this and that, this and that, this and that—all the while boasting non-stop about his prowess in just about every conceivable area on the spectrum that you could possibly imagine. The camel eventually and, quite predictably, grew weary of this overdone bragging and finally worked up the courage to speak himself. “Excuse me, Mr. Donkey, I don’t mean to be rude, but please permit me to be inordinately blunt with you. You, my friend, are thoroughly obnoxious and comport yourself like the biggest jackass in the entire world!” The donkey was obviously taken aback by this tactless accusation; ergo it took him several seconds to respond. “REALLY?!?! You must not ever have met my father then, my humpbacked “friend”. He stands at least four hands taller than me at the shoulder!”
