Toulouse Le Grandfig’s Summer Vacation: Cochlea

Buster Keaton's inner earJanuary 12, 1932

Our first port of call was Buster Keaton’s inner ear. I think we have discovered why he is always falling down. He has a lovely — if transgendered — higher primate living in his cochlea. Perhaps if she . . . he. . . it. Lovely it! Did not spit so much like a camel while Buster danced the tango.

Pity Buster and his aural inhibitor — his perilymphatic fluid sullied by transpittle, not transducing at all like mine, or your’s, or even like all the monkeys’.

Also, it seems that I am travelling backwards in time.
