"Borneol" is a word in ENGLISH
A rare variety of camphor, C10H17.OH, resembling ordinary
camphor, from which it can be produced by reduction. It is said to
occur in the camphor tree of Borneo and Sumatra (Dryobalanops
camphora), but the natural borneol is rarely found in European or
American commerce, being in great request by the Chinese. Called also
Borneo camphor, Malay camphor, and camphol.
It has been more wittily than charitably said that hell is paved with good intentions. They have their place in heaven also.

A grizzled old man was eating in a truck stop when three Hell's Angels' bikers walked in. The first walked up to the old man, pushed his cigarette into the old man's pie and then took a seat at the counter. The second walked up to the old man, spat into the old man's milk and then he too took a seat at the counter. The third walked up to the old man, turned over the old man's plate, and then he took a seat at the counter. Without a word of protest, the old man quietly left the diner. Shortly thereafter, one of the bikers said to the waitress, "Humph, not much of a man, was he?" The waitress replied, "Not much of a truck driver either, he just backed his big-rig over three motorcycles."
