Sexually deprived man

A young man joins the foreign legion, and is posted deep in the heart of Africa, surrounded by desert.

After a few months with no female contact, he visits his commander to explain: "I haven't had sex for ages - can you help me?" "Well," says the commander, "You can borrow my camel any time you like." The man declined, not wishing to seem that desperate.

Six months past, and the man became incresingly frustrated. He went to the commander as before, but got the same reply: "The offer of my camel is still there."

A year went by, and the poor man could stand it no longer. He went to the commander for one more time, his hands shaking; "It's no use - I haven't had sex for a year. I must use your camel." The commander agrees, and the man takes the animal around the back of the compound and relieves his frustrations.

On returning, the man thanks the commander who says - "Anytime young man; It's much quicker to the local brothel by camel, isn't it?!"
