TELL US A FUNNY STORY ABOUT YOURSELF.

I was on a bike ride with a friend once, and we were cycling through the fields in Rajasthan in the north of India. At one point we made a right on the path, and used a seated, sedate, cud-chewing, camel as our land mark. Only when we cycled back, hours later, in the dark did we realize that having a potentially mobile, healthy camel as a sign post was not a good idea. We managed to locate a remote house, got directions and a box of matches from a reluctant  farmer (after going through a host of his giggling children), and finally made it back. The moral of the story - "Don't turn right at the camel."
