Worst-Case Scenarios: How To Control A Runaway Camel
You're about to park your camel (your car's in the shop) by a meter on Seventh Avenue in Manhattan. But, before you can dismount and feed your pocketful of quarters for 10 minutes' parking, your camel is startled by a bus and bolts. What should you do?
Hang on to the reins--but do not pull them back hard in an attempt to stop the camel.
A camel's head, unlike that of a wayward horse, cannot always be pulled to the side to slow it down. Camels are usually harnessed with a head halter or nose reins, and pulling on the nose reins can tear the camel's nose--or break the reins.
If the camel has sturdy reins and a head halter, pull the reins to one side to make the camel run in a circle.
Do not fight the camel. Pull the reins in the direction the camel attempts to turn its head. The camel may change direction several times during the incident--let it do so.
If the camel has nose reins, just hang on tight.
Use the reins for balance, and grip with your legs. If there is a saddle, hold on to the horn.
Hold on until the camel stops.
Whether the camel is running in circles or in a straight path, it will not run very far. The camel will sit down when it grows tired.
When the camel sits, jump off.
Hold on to the reins to keep it from running off.

just to be clear, I wasn't making light of having cancer, as I just recently found out my uncle has lung cancer, and has had it for quite some time (his doctor just thought he had asthma). prognosis does not look good right now... :(
