Hiking to the top of Mt.Sinai for the sunrise. As Moses walked up the same mountain to get the dozen or so commandments (they got rid of the ones about loitering and copyright infringement in the third century), I wonder if he was pestered by guys trying to rent their camels. "Don't you like my camel?, it's a very good camel." As the camera nerd, fifty feet behind everyone trying to take night shots, I counted every second of the long exposures as I listened to 3 or 4 guys explain why their camel is superior.
When we finally reached the top, I had intended to break as many commandments as I could up there, but soon realized I don't know what the hell they are. I remembered the killing one, but that seemed a little extreme...although one more offer of a camel could have made me decide otherwise. I also had a vague memory of a golden calf, but that may have just been something from a japanese cartoon I once saw. That would explain why I also remember something about the calf shooting lasers from his eyes.
