Meat Sounds Quote by Terry Bisson
““I thought you just told me they used radio.” They do, but what do you think is on the radio? Meat sounds. 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.””
