Have you read the one about the talking meat?

I'd seen this before, but was happy to reread it for gems like this:

"You know how when you slap or flap meat it makes a noise? They talk by flapping their meat at each other. They can even sing by squirting air through their meat."

Such a beautiful description of the human voice.

I like how you assume another civilization would be any more rational.

I sure did, which is a pretty typical assumption when people think about beings from a different planet.

No, it really isn't.
