COUNTY WESTMEATH, Ireland: A Christmas party was ruined when a camel ate all the food and drank the beer.
Gus the camel sneaked out of his stable while staff at the Mullinger Equestrian Centre where he lives were getting changed for their party, Metro newspaper reported.
He washed down 200 mince pies and 150 sandwiches with seven cans of Guinness, which he cracked open with his teeth.
Staff came back to find the place looking like a "chimpanzee's tea party".
Owner Robert Fagan said: "We're going to reschedule the Christmas party for next Tuesday, but next time Gus is going to be properly locked up."
