| Reference: seems to be a quote from Mark Twain Reference information: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:rXvYXqk... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 mins (2011-02-19 17:41:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Camels are not beautiful, and their long under lip gives them an exceedingly "gallus"--[Excuse the slang, no other word will describe it]-- expression. They have immense, flat, forked cushions of feet, that make a track in the dust like a pie with a slice cut out of it. They are not particular about their diet. They would eat a tombstone if they could bite it. A thistle grows about here which has needles on it that would pierce through leather, I think; if one touches you, you can find relief in nothing but profanity. The camels eat these. They show by their actions that they enjoy them. I suppose it would be a real treat to a camel to have a keg of nails for supper. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 30 mins (2011-02-19 17:53:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think the quote in the discussion box will help other contributors. |
