Entertainment - Humor

I guess the first thing you need to do is take your camel shopping. I'd stay away from the pet stores. Sure they sell shoes for dogs and cats, but I think a camel is too exotic for them. You're best bet is to make sure you visit the super mall near where you live.

Upon entering the shoe store, you may want to get the camel's feet measured. I'd pay close attention to the width of the foot. You may have to get an extra wide shoe.

Next you'll have to decide what style shoe to get. Obviously you're not going for heels. Chances are your camel has a job. I'd go for something stylish, yet functional. Since your camel is a desert dweller, I'd pay close attention to air flow. You don't want those stinky feet coming home every night. You may want to lean towards a sandal.

Your camel's been sized and the shoes are on.Have the camel walk around a little. Make sure there is no rubbing. Last thing you need is a camel with blisters. Look into the camel's eyes as he walks around. Any signs of pain? No? Then you are good to go.

To know me is to either love me or hate me. I love to laugh. To me laughter is the best medicine. Even if it's only for 30 seconds, it's 30 seconds of relief from the real world.

Having the ability to find humor, even in the most tragic of events, is both a blessing and a curse. Actually, by itself it's a blessing. It's the timing that gets me in trouble sometimes.

It took me awhile, and I still haven't mastered it, to realize timing is more then the rhythm of a joke or story. You've heard the saying, "There is a time for everything". That's so true in comedy. Sometimes it's just not the right time to joke about a subject matter. Take 9-11. Has enough time gone by to joke about it? Will there ever be a time to joke about it? Only time will tell.

As I've grown older, I've manage to comprehend the right time to tell a joke. In my younger days I was always upsetting someone with a joke at the wrong time. However, back then I didn't care. It never really bothered me. My attitude was F you if you can't take a joke. I still have that attitude, but I realize the damage I can cause.

My main problem is I don't put much faith in words. They can be arrange, twisted and manipulated to mean anything. They can be soothing or used to trick you. I'm an action guy. You can tell me anything, but your actions will reveal your true meaning.

ESPN appears to have been prank called by a Howard Stern prankster pretending to be recently released Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook. The Brian Westbrook ESPN prank call appears to have been the work of Captain Janks, a Howard Stern acolyte who has pulled similar pranks on live TV before.

The Brian Westbrook crank call started off like any other interview with an athlete, but went off the rails about 30 seconds in when the fake Westbrook said he had "nothing but respect for head coach Andy Reid and I look forward to a future of worshiping the prostate of Howard Stern."

ESPN host Scott Van Pelt, realizing he had been duped by a Howard Stern fan, said, ""Oh boy, we got that, huh. So that worked out well."

So who is Captain Janks? According to one report, he is Thomas Michael Cipriano, a 43-year-old Pennsylvania man who recently confessed to defrauding bar owners by failing to make personal appearances for which he received payment. Cipriano was sentenced to eight years probation and was ordered to pay restitution.
