Even Camels in Ireland Drink Guinness
A camel broke out of its pen and ate 200 Christmas mincemeat pies and a six pack of Guinness.
From Reuters here:
DUBLIN (Reuters) – Staff at an Irish riding school were forced to postpone festivities after Gus the camel chomped his way through 200 mince pies and several cans of Guinness intended for their Christmas party.
Gus, starring in the riding school’s Santa’s Magical Animal Kingdom show, helped himself to the feast while staff were getting changed for the party.
The 11-year-old camel, originally from Morocco, cracked open six cans of Ireland’s famous stout with his teeth after the door to his stall was left open.
