I went Egypt with my Partner and a guy asked me how many camels for her. When we got home i told her dad i had been offered the camels for her, he said, whats she doing here and where are my camels 😂
@@halaali2296 we actually had great time in Egypt, the locals are super chilled and yes, we knew it was a joke, we had a good laugh with the guy who actually had a camel with him and was letting people sit on it for pictures. We did not do that as we had already been on a trip to visit the bedouin people and dine with them, which was fantastic, but tipped him well for his hospitality anyway. Of course he was having a laugh as were my partners dad and myself when I told him.

He looks to be in his 40's maybe even 50's which is about the average age for someone with a child in their 20's getting married which is what his daughter looks. How is that so young?
Once, when working aboard a cargo ship, I noticed that every single one of my crewmates were acting differently. We were tied up alongside another vessel, transferring cargo, in the middle of the ocean. We had been doing this for weeks, so I didn't understand their odd behavior. One of them pulled me back into the house to warn me. Some of the crew on the other vessel had been trying to get my guys to trade for me. We were all on high alert with that crew, and the captain got us away from them as quickly as possible as soon as the work was done.

Totally agree, he is a big liar, no one does that in Turkey or any of middle eastern countries unless it was a joke, but he stated this fabricated story as a fact
@@maleknumeir It definitely happens in middle eastern countries. My husband was approached by a sheik and offered 2000 camels for his medic.

When my Cousin went on her honeymoon to Morocco a Man walked up to her Husband (the guy didn't know she was married) & asked him how many pieces of gold he wanted for her.
Ok, this is getting ridiculous. I need to find a Moroccan friend and figure the ins and outs of this shit. This is like the tenth story I'm reading about this. This is fascinating.
Hahaha, that reminds me of my husband and my dad. They had spoken, met each other over the phone but never face to face. So on the first visit, my husband (then boyfriend) had to my family, who lived overseas, he asked my mum and dad if they have anything they will like from where we are. My dad asked for 4 Salmons 😂 and we still joked to this day that I am worth 4 salmons
When I was 16 I worked at our local newspaper office in the circulation office. At the time I had very light golden blonde hair. One day this man came in to get a couple back issues of the newspaper because it had his baby's birth announcement in it. I have to say he had one of his wives with him too. I went out to where we kept the past issues and a minute later a coworker came out too. She was laughing and told me that the man wanted to buy me and have me delivered with his new newspaper subscription. My mother wouldn't let me walk home from work anymore by myself. I don't know what country he was from, but he had multiple wives and he smelled bad.
I was in Saudi Arabia in 1995 with my husband. He was there for 15 months. He brought me over for 2 months in the middle of his tour (civil service). During that time I learned that it's common for Saudis to have multiple wives. Is that true for Turkish men? There's much more disturbing things that are done in Saudi, at least then. Very cute and sweet Dad brought this cute and funny moment up. Camels are at least in Saudi Arabia a big deal, especially white ones. Great story!
Many years ago, my daughter and her friends made their costumes and went to the Renaissance Faire in Waxatchie , like they do most years. This was their first year in particular. Faith made a fetching yon maiden, and some young lads approached and offered her friends several young farm animals and a cart to buy the yon maiden 😂
😂😂😂 I got picked at a feast to be a witch hunter's target. A dashing pirate queen fought to rescue me. I played along well until she went to present me back to my partner and he asked her if she wanted to keep me, I was an expensive witch 😂😂. Then followed a good 10 min improv of me escaping the vindicated witch hunter. Best fun ever 😅😂

I thought the Singles Class at a Church I once attended(we were a mixed age group, 25-45 yrs old) We were going to have a Murder Mystery Dinner Party for our New Year's Eve Party that the Youth Director and his wife were hosting for us(and she was a Drama Teacher at a School). He said that everyone could pick their characters, EXCEPT me, and they chose mine(they said they knew I wouldn't be offended, and I'd have fun with it) I was, Miranda Sheets, a Porn Star! 😂 I warned everyone that the minute I came to the door, I'd be "in character" and not to take me seriously or be offended. I had found a Red Satin Prom Dress, off one shoulder-Perfect! When the Youth Director opened the door to greet me, I came on to him, "Oh, my! Aren't you a tall drink of water!" He and his wife were fighting back the laughs to stay in character. Sadly, my Sunday School Singles Class were way too serious. Sunday, at Church, the Youth Director told me he and his wife were in bed cracking up as they talked about "my performance" 😂 Btw, I love the picture of your kitty! 😺❤️
My uncle & wife adopted 3 kids from Vietnam after the war. Thru Operation Baby Lift, which they instigated. Their running joke was that he paid the orphanage enough to buy 2 bags of rice, for their little girl. It was actually true tho.
😂 My 17yo son went to stay with his long distance gf's family last spring for a few weeks. I told him to take a goat with him. Without missing a beat, he said "that's a good idea... where do i get one?" He couldn't find a goat, but he did bake cookies and cooked dinner for them most nights. He knew what I was saying... That's when I knew I'd raised him right ❤
When I was around 14 this happened to me on vacation in Tunisia. The guy offered my mum 40 - 50 camels (don't remember exactly) for me, but she just said: "Nah, they wouldn't fit in my flat, I rather take her (me) back." Loved that response xD
If that had been my ol' da, he'd have asked them how many they want...😆 Fun fact; We have a feral camel problem here in Oz, plus we export camels to the middle east and UAE on a regular basis.😏 🙃🐨🇦🇺
My dad got the same question in Morocco, they even offered 20 sheep. He didn't take the offer but maybe he should have for two years later she filed for devorce.

Buy in the crowd said “3” immediately lol
Bro!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Many years ago, my daughter and her friends made their costumes and went to the Renaissance Faire in Waxatchie , like they do most years.
This was their first year in particular. Faith made a fetching yon maiden, and some young lads approached and offered her friends several young farm animals and a cart to buy the yon maiden 😂
😂😂😂 I got picked at a feast to be a witch hunter's target. A dashing pirate queen fought to rescue me. I played along well until she went to present me back to my partner and he asked her if she wanted to keep me, I was an expensive witch 😂😂. Then followed a good 10 min improv of me escaping the vindicated witch hunter. Best fun ever 😅😂
@@ferretchick06 😂😹Love it! Sounded like it was a blast! I love it when people know how to do improv, or play along.
I thought the Singles Class at a Church I once attended(we were a mixed age group, 25-45 yrs old) We were going to have a Murder Mystery Dinner Party for our New Year's Eve Party that the Youth Director and his wife were hosting for us(and she was a Drama Teacher at a School). He said that everyone could pick their characters, EXCEPT me, and they chose mine(they said they knew I wouldn't be offended, and I'd have fun with it) I was, Miranda Sheets, a Porn Star! 😂
I warned everyone that the minute I came to the door, I'd be "in character" and not to take me seriously or be offended. I had found a Red Satin Prom Dress, off one shoulder-Perfect!
When the Youth Director opened the door to greet me, I came on to him, "Oh, my! Aren't you a tall drink of water!" He and his wife were fighting back the laughs to stay in character. Sadly, my Sunday School Singles Class were way too serious.
Sunday, at Church, the Youth Director told me he and his wife were in bed cracking up as they talked about "my performance" 😂
Btw, I love the picture of your kitty! 😺❤️
Note to dads going to some places where selling women is still normal: cufflink yourself to your daughter(s). Better safe than sorry.
You don't sell women in Turkey, don't be dumb.
And for sure Turkey is not one of those places where they sell women. I’m disgusted by western ignorance..
I have seven spare Camels.
I don’t think you’ll find there are many camels in Turkey but it makes for a good story.
He should have asked the new son in law for his camels. 😂😂😂
Her face 😂😂😂
Should have said I don't smoke camel I smoke Marlboro and just walked away LOL
She is a stunning bride
Depends on that son in law.....😂😂😂😂
I dream of finding a girl like her. WOW~!!!❤❤🎉🎉🎉
How many? I had my daughter with me in Egypt and had the question given to me about my daughter. I just laughed and said, "She's not for sale."
My uncle & wife adopted 3 kids from Vietnam after the war. Thru Operation Baby Lift, which they instigated. Their running joke was that he paid the orphanage enough to buy 2 bags of rice, for their little girl. It was actually true tho.
while running a London pub, my husband was offered 70 red camels for me. All my husband had to say was, where am I going to put 70 red camels?
I need three whole speech 😂😂

Ummm are you sure he was Turkish? I don’t think Camels 🐪 are a real big commodity there. It’s not their natural habitat. 😂
It’s good old racism. All Muslims are the same for them.
Uh did you just assume their natural habitats?!
Funny Dad!
How many Camel's, two cartons!
Omg what a beautiful bride too she is and so stunning and gorgeous woman too very pretty natural beauty as well
You are so kind
My dad went with my sister to Jordan and was asked the same thing 😂
Apart from we don’t have camels in Türkiye it is a funny story haha
Would have been a lot funnier if he said when he got back to his room he didn’t know where to put his camels.
😂 My 17yo son went to stay with his long distance gf's family last spring for a few weeks. I told him to take a goat with him. Without missing a beat, he said "that's a good idea... where do i get one?" He couldn't find a goat, but he did bake cookies and cooked dinner for them most nights. He knew what I was saying... That's when I knew I'd raised him right ❤
When I was around 14 this happened to me on vacation in Tunisia. The guy offered my mum 40 - 50 camels (don't remember exactly) for me, but she just said: "Nah, they wouldn't fit in my flat, I rather take her (me) back." Loved that response xD
Everything has a price.😂😂😂
A camel? InTurkey??? How about penguins? They are also native in Turkey, just like camels 😂😂😂
Im not selling, just appraising lmao
Just googled myself...😂😂😂
After watching this, most men probably googled it too 😂
If that had been my ol' da, he'd have asked them how many they want...😆
Fun fact; We have a feral camel problem here in Oz, plus we export camels to the middle east and UAE on a regular basis.😏
🙃🐨🇦🇺
No Turk would ask for camels, it’s North Africa
Fake story, numpty dad story
I bet your the life of any party aren't you. 😂
I’m dying of laughter, WHY 😂😭💀🥹🤣
My dad got the same question in Morocco, they even offered 20 sheep. He didn't take the offer but maybe he should have for two years later she filed for devorce.
You could get 8 racing camels for a daughter in Egypt. That was in 1989 but inflation has changed that.
My dad had a similar conversation
Except there are no camels in Turkey. For a dad who supposedly makes his research, you would expect he would know that lol
Need to see the rest of this

Yup - happened to me in Egypt/ totally serious group of men negotiating, flailing arms and screaming out as if I were a commodity on the stock exchange floor- my person; in exchange for livestock 😂
I knew twin sisters in highschool. When they were around 8 they were in Saudi Arabia and their parents were offered $5 million per girl
Thats morbid
@@mika274 Yeah, the parents said that particular man was fascinated with the idea of twin white wives. I don’t remember if they indicated there was any intimidation or tension when they declined like with this story.
@@D123-f9k I mean, if you've got a spare. I suppose the guy didn't want to bust up the set.
Guy in the background asking seriously
"What was the answer?"
Is he telling the groom's father he owes him some camels?😂😂
😂
One hump or two. That just sounds wrong
😮
😂
