See, human beings really are a lot of tubes. And all living creatures are just tubes. And tubes have to put things in at one end and let it out at the other. Then they get clever about it and they develop nerve ganglia on one end of the tube (the eating end) called a head—and that's got eyes, and it's got ears, and it's got little organs, antennae, and things like this, and that helps you to find things to put in one end so that you can let them out at the other. Well, while you're doing this, you see, the stuff going through wears the tube out, and so the show can go on; the tubes have complicated ways of making other tubes who go on doing the same thing: in at one end, out the other.
