Someone should take its number and put it in the book. Of course, they'd have to make sure it's not a dromedary.

[SlowwHand]

What? Are you switching to the picture on Camel cigarettes on me? Yes, it's a dromidary.

its spelled dromadary

[SlowwHand]

Thank you, AAHZ. I'll sleep much better tonight, knowing for sure.

Moderately obscure MPFC reference, couldn't resist it.

In the country. Interviewer with microphone. Behind him a man sits on a wall, with clip-board, binoculars and spotting gear.

Interviewer: Good evening. Tonight we're going to take a hard, tough abrasive look at camel spotting. Hello.

Spotter: Hello Peter.

Interviewer: Now tell me, what exactly are you doing?

Spotter: Er well, I'm camel spotting. I'm spotting to see if there are any camels that I can spot, and put them down in my camel spotting book.

Interviewer: Good. And how many camels have you spotted so far?

Spotter: Oh, well so far Peter, up to the present moment, I've spotted nearly, ooh, nearly one.

Interviewer: Nearly one?

Spotter: Er, call it none.

Interviewer: Fine. And er how long have you been here?

Spotter: Three years.

Interviewer: So, in, er, three years you've spotted no camels?

Spotter: Yes in only three years. Er, I tell a lie, four, be fair, five. I've been camel spotting for just the seven years. Before that of course I was a Yeti spotter.

Interviewer: A Yeti spotter, that must have been extremely interesting.

Spotter: Oh, it was extremely interesting, very, very - quite... it was dull; dull, dull, dull, oh God it was dull. Sitting in the Waterloo waiting room. Course once you've seen one Yeti you've seen them all.

Interviewer: And have you seen them all?

Spotter: Well I've seen one. Well a little one... a picture of a... I've heard about them.

Interviewer: Well, now tell me, what do you do when you spot a camel?

Spotter: Er, I take its number.

Interviewer: Camels don't have numbers.

Spotter: Ah, well you've got to know where to look. Er, they're on the side of the engine above the piston box.

Interviewer: What?

Spotter: Ah - of course you've got to make sure it's not a dromedary. 'Cos if it's a dromedary it goes in the dromedary book.

Interviewer: Well how do you tell if it's a dromedary?

Spotter: Ah well, a dromedary has one hump and a camel has a refreshment car, buffet, and ticket collector.

Interviewer: Mr Sopwith, aren't you in fact a train spotter?

Spotter: What?

Interviewer: Don't you in fact spot trains?

Spotter: Oh, you're no fun anymore.

[SlowwHand]

Ok, now I get it. That's a life well-spent.

[Winston]

Some would say it's marginally better than trying to spot Urban Rangers.

It's always "them." "They" are everywhere, but they never admit that's who they are.

[SlowwHand]

Exactly.
A lot like, just because I'm a paranoid, doesn't mean they're not after me.
