Since baboons have sunken cheeks, would they be able to play wind instruments? ---

The shower is the second best place for inspiration: I was hosing off a little while ago and, as I have a beard (and 'stache), I soap up the whole head. 99.9 times out of 100, I can keep my mouth shut (watch it, Chessie), but this time something went SNAFU and I sucked in some soap suds. All the way down; in my larynx, in my pharynx, on my epiglarynx. After a minute or two (or twenty) of coughing and retching, I was OK. PLUS, my upper respiratory tract is now 99 and 44/100% pure! ---

I was going to make a comparison to baby food, but that sounded too much like a snack a woman might eat during a thorough pelvic exam. ---
