100 Camels and a Clever Sales Pitch

We were on a cruise down the Nile River and Luxor was one of the places that we visited. While we were in the Temple of Hatshepsut, a middle-aged man walks up to us, looks at my mother, me, and my father, and just says, “I’ll give you 100 camels for her.”

My father just looked at him, with his eyes wide open, “Are you serious?” “I’ve never been more serious in my life.” “You don’t have enough camels for me,” my mother said. The guy just laughed and pointed into his shop, and that’s when we realized what he meant —he had T-shirts with camels on them and the whole 100 camels for my mother took a whole other turn… We just had a laugh and I bought the T-shirts in the end. Well played, middle-aged shop owner, well played.
