Pureed Camel -- has anybody actually DONE it yet?

Okay, many of us have heard the bit about it being easier for a camel
to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to get into Heaven.
And many of us have posited huge needles and/or pureed camels.
But has anybody done it? It sounds like a dandy project, especially if
there are any zoo camels nearing death. Then all that's needed is
something to puree the beast, probably adding a lot of water, and then
a pump into a tube with a nozzle to squirt it through the needle.
... and a set-up to video the whole thing. But then, you've already
probably thought the whole thing out.
I just wanna know it it's been done in actuality.

This is exactly the kind of Middle Eastern treat that the gork lady in
Florida could enjoy if only the soulless federal judges would put back that
tube!

I want to stay as far away from that situation as possible. The notion
of accidentally interrupting Jeb Bush with his pants down,
administering his OWN "feeding tube" to her already troubles my dreams.

What a lot of people don't know is that Jesus was referring to a Camel
cigarette, and yes, it has been done. I was able to blow the smoke from
an entire camel through the eye of a big-assed needle. Unfortunately,
this was before the advent of Ripley's Believe it or Else TV, so I am
relatively unknown as a Biblical scholar.
