My sister and her husband, who is a Methodist minister, just returned from a visit to the Holy Land today.  They've been there for the last week and a half and I'm still cracking up from what she just told me:

While at the market there, a man offered my brother-in-law 6,000 camels, his business and his own home in return for my sister.

I just had to post this because it's one of the most bizarre things I've ever heard.

I'm immediately skeptical, though...were they ONE hump or TWO hump camels?  This IS my sister we're talking about. Don't be cheap with the humps...my humps...my lovely camel humps.

I love my sister.  She's worth more than all the camels in the world put together:)

We forget what other types of payment are out there for other countries.  Just think if you had two sisters.

Mark, LOL. The 600 camels is probably like a million dollars here. 2 humpers, gotta bring that number to two million. Grin.

Wow - you must have a very striking sister.  600 sounds like a lot of camels.  What an add & interesting event... not something she'll forget I'm sure.  Thanks for sharing that, too funny.

The people in Israel are a whole different type than Americans...I can just see that happening here!!  NOT.  We went to Israel in 2001 - it was an awesome experience.

Ok I had to look.

That is some funny stuff right there.

and yes I'm sure your sister is worth more than that. My brother on the other hand, I would gladly take that deal!

hhhhmmm, Did he sell / trade her? May have been a good deal, but I don't know your sister.

Was your sister offended or flattered by the offer?  Just curious.

Mary,

Being the classy woman that she is, she and her husband politely declined.  As they understand the culture over there, she wasn't offended...she really got a good chuckle out of it.lol
