Climatic Potential of the Bactrian Camel (Camelanus Bactrianus)
It isn't as off the wall as it seems - camel trading, that is. The Bactrian camel is the only true one, the two-humper, which I recommend. You don't have to be a celebutante or a total wonker on the party and club scene to be interested. I had a friend who knew a fellow in some pop group or other who owned a camel. It was an accident actually. He was returning from his father's funeral and got rather drunk. He'd been to the crem and was carrying the ashes home - this must have been some time later - and he stopped at the local bar for a quick one. Somehow the conversation turned towards what we dare to do and he finished up snorting his father's ashes. Anyway, after that the bet to buy the camel seemed relatively mild.
Let's be honest, once global warming kicks in, it would be a good bet - not the snorting, the camel I mean. They can go miles without any petrol. And they raise and lower their body temperature at will. My girlfriend used to do that. Turned quite peuce on one occasion. I was petrified. The thing with camels, though, is that they don't sweat, so they retain all the water they drink. They hardly ever go to the loo, as well. Unlike somebody I could mention. Finally, but not least, they eat anything - twigs, shoes and ashes. Did you know, a man in Apex, North Carolina, has finally been rumbled for keeping 60 sheep in his apartment? He could have had room for any number of camels in the same space. That's what I mean about thinking ahead. Climatic potential.
