My husband used to smoke Camels, how ironic!

When my husband smoked it was unfiltered Camels. I think this camel was trying eat his face!
This was taken many years ago at the Jefferson County Fair. My husband had a few entries in the fair so while we were there he decided to cozy up with this dude!
I rather see him engrossed with this real camel than Camel cigarettes!
Check out that sky - we just got back to the car before it opened up!
Photo is mine.

I think the camel was friendly, not really sure - that was awhile ago.

@JudyEv I never saw camels at any other country fair since then.

@AbbyGreenhill He looks like he's asking for a scratch.

Scary sky. This is a much better camel, I agree.

The weather was bad but not as bad as the smell coming from that camel!

@CoralLevang I know, now when we smell it on others we gag.

@CoralLevang Well, smokers don't care that people gag. We quit Feb. 2000 and moved south a few months later - to where it is perfectly acceptable to smoke - still is today.

So glad he kicked that habit @AbbyGreenhill
That is a great photo, even with the storm ready to get you!

He should have given that camel a big kiss on the cheek @AbbyGreenhill . Dang, that sky does look bad.

@AbbyGreenhill Me too. Nothing worse than being caught in the middle of something.

@AbbyGreenhill No, he didn't do that. So your husband has something in common with the camel - they both spit.

I used to smoke those but then switched to marlboros ..... I've since quit altogether thankfully.
I've never even seen a real one before.

My Dad smoked camels way back in the day when I was a kid. He stopped smoking when he had a mild heart attack at age 47.

That is very funny to put your husband with a camel. That camel looks to big to either smoke or eat.
