what would you sacrifice

[philsmove]

To mark the last delivery of 100 aircraft, maintenance workers at Turkish Airlines clubbed together to buy a camel - and then consume it. The sacrifice took place at Istanbul international airport.

Leaving aside for a moment the answer that you're clearly suggesting, I'd have said 'Richard Branson'

Sounds like nothing so much as a chance to have a bit of a barbie.

What's the problem with eating camel? is there any special difference between that and, say, barbecuing a whole side of beef?

Judging from the article, I'd say that the objection was not to the consumption of the camel, but more to the act of ritually sacrificing it at their workplace. If they'd only gone down the drive-thru sacrifices section at their local Altars'R'Us, there wouldn't have been a problem...

Management got the hump?

No wonder the boss of the group got the hoof.

Did they do this sacrafice on the runway. Would make a great delay anouncement.
