A new Army Captain was assigned to an outfit in a remote post in the African desert.
During his first inspection of the outfit, he noticed a camel hitched up behind the mess tent.He asks the Sergeant why the camel is kept there.
The nervous sergeant said, "Well sir, as you know, there are 250 men here on the post and no women. And sir, sometimes the men have 'urges'.
That's why we have the camel."
The Captain says, "I can't say that I condone this, but I understand about urges, so the camel can stay."
About a month later, the Captain starts having his own urges. Crazy with passion, he asks the Sergeant to bring the camel to his tent.
Putting a ladder behind the camel, the Captain stands on the ladder, pulls his pants down and has wild, insane sex with the camel. When he's done, he asks the Sergeant, "Is that how the men do it?"
"No, not really, sir...They usually just ride the camel into town where the girls are."

The above was sent to me by one of my former military wife friends. The joke was made even funnier because her husband retired (disabled) as a Captain - how we teased him because he worked his way from PVT up the ladder. Not that he became any smarter, you understand...he was typical of officers below the rank of Major, even though he had come up through the ranks! (Anyone who was ever been affiliated with the military, let alone part and parcel of it, will understand what I mean about being "typical of officers below the rank of Major.") There weren't many I met that would have qualified as being the sharpest knife in the drawer!
