Edgar Kennedy - 'the slow burn'
In Americus, Indiana, a kid comes home from a basketball game one night and finds a dead camel on the front lawn. The kid tells his father who accuses him of drinking and gets sent to bed. The next morning there was still a dead camel on the front lawn.
"The Art of Head Thumping" - Shep demonstrates his head thumping expertise to the music of The Smith Street Society Jazz Band.
Shep tells about his own experience with a camel. Coming home through the back alley that ran behind the houses, Shep discovers that in one of the garages is a camel which belongs to a magician. He starts feeding it the leftover peanut butter and jelly sandwich he had for lunch every day. After several months, one day he eats his whole sandwich and comes by empty handed. The camel is not amused and takes a big bite out of his new sheepskin coat. Shep's mother accuses him of lying when he tells her how the camel bit his coat, so he blames it on Flick. She sticks a bar of soap in Shep's mouth and calls Flick's mother. (See notes)

Comments: Shep talks about the time he was in the Army stationed in a casual company. One day a new soldier, Pvt Sanderson, comes into the barracks and takes the bunk right above Shep's.
After spitting chewing tobacco on Shep's locker and cleaning it up, they go to the PX one night for a few 3.2 beers and Sanderson gets into a pushing match with another soldier. The MPs come in and Sanderson gives them a fake name and ID, while Shep gives them his real name. He gets called to the orderly room

Shep tells a story about being in the signal corps radar outfit, the equipment they used and all about setting it up and testing it. They begin to power it up, a process involving more that flipping a switch, each man carefully watching the settings on his part of the equipment. As they get this unit almost up to max power, Gassor suddenly says he smell something. This is followed by a high pitched squeal that fills the air when suddenly - BOOOM! Everyone heads for the trees taking cover. When it's all over they find that someone had rigged it with a buzz bomb.
