The camel is the most ruminative of animals, and he slobbers constantly while he ruminates,
particularly on his Picket-Line Hitch, which he believes is provided for this purpose. His knot is
always sopping, but it has been very nicely planned; and so, wet or dry, it is never difficult to untie
and it does not slip in either direction.
Clifford W. Ashley The Ashley Book of Knots, 1944
