Default Flying camels

Hi , I was wondering about the costs of flying camels into the Middle
East from Australia



It would be cheaper to fit them all with coconut necklaces and float
them across the Indian Ocean. Mount a couple of solar panels on the
humps wired to a small electric motor powering a hand mixer ($1.99 at
Walmart) and they become "self propelled". Trick is to keep them
pointed in the right direction. Launch five hundred a week and the
first "batch" should get there by Easter next year. From then, expect
regular "landings". Set up a small stand on the beach and and sell 'em
"hot" from the water (lemonade on the side of course). ;-)
