When he put that cigarette in the camel's nose the camel reared back inhaling the whole cigarette. Then, what can only be described as an epileptic fit, the camel began coughing and snorting. He shot that cigarette butt out of his nose, spit at the sgt, and then snotted and puked all over the sgt! It was the funniest thing I have ever seen! The camel gathered it's cool and walked away. That SP was covered in mucous from the camel! The Col. that I was with directed another secuity officer to take the sgt into custody. He was placed under arrest and lost TWO stripes for his behavior! Now that was even funnier! "
