Nothing is so nonsensical as science made nonsensical. Mr. Chappell has written previous burlesques on books of travel. This book describes the adventures of a number of explorers who undertake a trip through the gastro-intestinal tract, where they stalk the heebee-geebees in the nerve forest of the lumbar region and rescue a hot dog that battles against the intestinal current. They capture phagocytes in their native lair. Some of the humor is based on analogy, some of it on puns, but most of it is pure nonsense and, as such, exceedingly funny to all who can appreciate nonsense."
