Young boys

Global criticism

The Buenos Aires Herald reports: “The Emirates government said yesterday it had succeeded in eliminating the use of young boys as camel jockeys and UNICEF confirmed the eradication of a practice that had drawn global criticism.” Does this mean that we will have no camel races in the future? I always thought the jockey has to be short and light. Why has the jockey to be young?

That's right! In the past, only men could sing in church, but composers didn't limit themselves to that, so men had to sing higher tones. No one even thought of bringing girls into church, so they did the most logical thing: cutting of their penisses. I've always liked Farinelli.

If you don't want children to be riding camels, just make sure that the talented ones (read: whoms parents want their children to ride camels when older) don't grow! I know that ribbon worms can do the trick.

I see the future, it's bright and small. (Oh, does it show I'm reading Nabokovs Lolita?)
The jockey had to be light, and he had to yell the camel forward. Apparently, a high pitched scream was most effective for this.

It seems, the races are still held, though, but with little robots for jockeys.
No Dens, they did not cut penisses. They only relieved them of their balls. Remember, they are always after the balls.
Oh that's right. I meant balls, not penis. I'm just not a ball-fan, that's why it didn't cross my mind I was wrong. Eunuchs have no penis, right?
