her ears.....It was as if they had been designed according to aesthetic principle rather than the rules of auditory practicality.
When I point this out to her, she says, ‘It’s probably so all that rubbish scoots past them and doesn’t go inside.’
(Ses oreilles.... semblaient être conçues selon le principe esthétique plutôt que les lois de la praticité auditive.
Quand je lui en ai fait la remarque, elle a dit " Probablement pour que tout ce qui foutaises merdiques y glissent et n'y entrent pas".)
