		<description><![CDATA[More strange news stories from Jean Rubin about camel traders and La-Z-Boy drunk drivers.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Even Camels Have Stress</h2>
<p>Honestly, I read the paper and then have to cut out articles to save for my kids, my mother or dear friends, but today Maury handed me an article he&#8217;d thought I&#8217;d enjoy. I cannot make this stuff up! The recession has hit camel traders in Egypt so hard that the ones from Somalia are bringing in a lower price. The Somalian ones do not behave well running away and behaving in a stubborn manner, sort of like the grandkids when we&#8217;re baby sitting. &#8220;Stop that camel behavior this minute!&#8221; In case you didn&#8217;t know camels can be healthy one day and die the next. If they don&#8217;t behave, they eat them, $2.90 a pound which is cheaper than mutton. I will mention this to an upscale <strong>Scottsdalian</strong> standing next to me who complains about AJ&#8217;s prices at the meat counter. Or I&#8217;ll tell the kids if they don&#8217;t shape up, I&#8217;ll eat them.</p>
<h2>Can a La-Z-Boy Reduce Stress?</h2>
<p>Dennis Anderson in Minnesota was arrested for driving his converted La-Z-Boy chair with stereo, cup holder and steering wheel in an inebriated state.His gasoline- powered lawnmower has headlights and an antenna and will be up for sale at the next police auction since he ran into a car. Maury&#8217;s been saying for years he wants one of these chairs so he can be really comfortable awhile he&#8217;s watching the History and Golf Channels. It absolutely does not match our decor. Just the thought of it gives me <strong>stress.</strong></p>
