Morris had retired and being a faithful Jew decided he wanted to visit the Holy Land before he died. So he flew over to Israel. He had heard the best way to tour the area was on camel back. So he went to Abdul the used camel dealer to rent a camel for the day. All Abdul had left on the lot was one old camel. Abdul agreed to rent the camel but had specific instructions for Morris. He said, "This camel was raised in a monastery and he only responds to certain commands. He has 3 speeds, and you get him to go by saying, "pheew." To make him stop you must say "AMEN!" Nothing else will make him stop!" So Morris mounts the camel and says “pheew”, and the camel lopes along at 15 miles an hour and gets the edge of the desert. Morris then says, "pheew, pheew", and the camel starts running at 30 miles an hour. Morris is having a blast. He then calls out, "pheew, pheew, pheew", the camel is flying at 60 miles an hour across the desert. Off in the distance Morris sees the cliffs of the Dead Sea. In a panic he forgets the word, ‘Amen’, and tries everything to stop the camel before they reach the cliffs. Figuring he is going go over the cliffs and die, he says his prayers and says, ‘Amen’. The camel come to a screeching halt with its front hooves at the very edge of the cliffs, little pebbles are falling down as Morris sits up in his saddle and looks over the cliff. He wipes his brow and exclaims, ‘pheew!’
