Wish I Could Say the Same for You

Boyfriend: Hey, did you guys go see the camel?
Girlfriend: No, where is it?
Pal: Don’t even bother. It’s so ugly. It looks so out of place… It’s probably thinking, ‘What the hell am I doing in Ithaca?! I could probably be scoring hot camel chicks in Egypt or something.’
Boyfriend: That’s what I think every day.
Girlfriend: What?
Boyfriend: Don’t worry, babe, I’m sure he’ll get laid by another loner camel in Ithaca.
