The scrolls
Does anyone remember quite a few years back when the scrolls were found and published on PPRUNE? They were written in a simpler time, and discribed the life and work of cameleers in a distant sandy place. It would be interesting if they could be re-published, to see how things have progressed...or not.
I have done a search here and can not find them, they were in the humour section up till the last PPRUNE format change. Anyone have a copy? Is the finder of these treasures still around to re-publish?

4HolerPoler, please ask Danny if we can have the humour page back again. There are a few outright gems that need to be always available for quick retrieval, like Flaps 40's incomparable 'A Trip with the Captain'.
I came upon a very tattered paper copy of the original scroll recently, and after re-reading, thought it could have been written today rather than 14 years ago.
