“Don't get me wrong - it's not that I don't like people. Some of my best friends are people.”

—Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See
  • Stephen: No, I don’t camp. I haven’t camped since I was sixteen. One night.
  • Mark: You’re joking!
  • Stephen: Chagford, Devon. It was supposed to be four nights. First night camping, I hated it so much I spent all my money in the Ring O’ Bells pub.
  • Mark: You are kidding me! You’ve surely camped since sixteen!
  • Stephen: No. Only in the homosexual sense.
