Mysterious Egyptian People

A bus load of tourists stopped in the town square of a small Egyptian city to shop at the stands surrounding the square. One tourist asked a local for the time. The man, squatting beside his camel, reached up, cupped the animal's genitals in his hand, raised them, lowered them and replied, "2 o'clock." The tourist can't believe what just happened. He found some of his fellow tourists, checked the time, and sure enough, the local was right! After telling his story, they all followed him back to see for themselves. "Pardon me? Do you know the time?" The exact same thing happened: the local cupped the animal's genitals in his hand, raised them, lowered them and said, "It is 2:05 p.m." Finally, the story got to the bus driver, who just had to know how this trick was done. "How can you tell time from a camel's genitals?" he asked. The local said, "Sit here." The driver did. "Now grab my camel's genitals." He did that. "Now, lift them up in the air." The driver did. "Now, look beneath them... to the other side of the courtyard? See the town clock?"
