[[A man is carrying on a conversation with a camel wearing a top hat.]]
CAMEL: People are always afraid of being seen talking to themselves.
"Oh, I'll look like a crazy person."
But crazy people DON'T talk to themselves! They talk to OTHERS--to people only THEY can see!
MAN: I agree! Simply MUMBLING to oneself is perfectly valid. It's how some people organize their thoughts!
It's when someone's having an ANIMATED CONVERSATION with thin air--THAT'S when you've got to watch out!
MAN: But as for mumbling--Heck, I'd RATHER have a RICH INNER MONOLOGUE than have to RESTRAIN myself all the time for fear of looking ridiculous!
CAMEL: Yes! ABSOLUTELY!
[[The man has disappered, but the camel remains.]]
CAMEL: THAT'S what I'm always saying, but the NORMALS call me crazy!
SWEEPER: Who are you talking to?
