In keeping with the theme of random stories shared amongst my family members, during lunch my mom mentions in passing that this 60-year old woman in Australia was killed by her pet camel -- given by her family members for her birthday.
So my dad's cousin wonders aloud, "I wonder how it killed her."
Her husband's witty response: "It humped her to death."
...har har. But really though, I almost laughed out my ginger ale. It was perfectly executed.
A few hours later over dinner, she wonders again how this camel possibly could have killed its owner. So I run to the computer and Google "camel kills woman" only to find this article:

An Australian woman was killed by a pet camel given to her as a 60th birthday present after the animal apparently tried to have sex, police said yesterday.
The 10-month-old male camel - weighing about 150 kg - knocked the woman to the ground, lay on top of her, then exhibited what police suspect was mating behaviour, Gregory said.
Now that's irony for you.
