A Ramadanian Weekend


My coworker Chris is Muslim.  He is going out to the desert this weekend to grill and camp in celebration of Ramadan. I bid him farewell today.

Chris:  Thanks man.  You sure you don’t want anything like a burger or some chicken or something?
Me: I told you I wanted something.

Chris:  What?  Some chicken, from the desert?

Me:  Camel.

Chris:  Man I wish, I’d bring you back some if that is what we were cooking.

(I was joking I couldn’t imagine camel being very appetizing but I guess I’d taste it, probably tastes like horse).

Chris continued:  I’ll tell you what: I’ll bring you back a souvenir.   They have all these little shops set up there because where we go camping is very close to the border.

Me: Mexico?

He wasn't in the mood to play.
