Lopian along,

Do-re-me-fa-lopian,
Dreamin' and hopian',
Yippee ki yi
And do-re-mi-fa.

My great-grandfather on my uncle's side once removed was a devout Eustachian, and went regularly to services. I believe, in fact, he was an alderman of the Eustachian convexation. It was then, as now, a little-known sect, vaguely related to early Baptist organizations but grown unrecognizable and perhaps more akin in its present form to a blend of Unitarianism and Dianetics. In any case, it was, as I say, little-known even in his own time, and reportedly in meeting new people he often got strange looks when the conversation would turn to religions and church-going, and he would nod and smile, and remark, "I, myself, have always been of the Eustachian persuasion."

He in fact became a bit of an outcast by reason of this eccentiricity, and was known in Victorian London as the Eustachian boob. This was, of course, before the Underground was built.

Do not confuse Eustachian tubes with Fallopian tubes, either.

Back in my youth radios had tubes. We used to send new members of our (all boys) high school radio club out to get a new Fallopian tube. If he came back with one we reported him to the police.

Wake up everyone! Wake up!

It's National Eustachian Tube Appreciation Day!!!

Here are a few simple things YOU can do to show your Eustachian tubes you care:

Take them out to lunch. Well... Don't really take them out. That'd be a bit messy, you know.

Learn to spell "Eustachian" correctly. No more "Yoostashion... Euskatcheon... Aw, fuck it! Those damned tubes in your ears!"

Talk to your friends and relatives about the plight of Eustachian tubes in developing countries. Teach them that a Eustachian is not a member of some weird religious sect.

Celebrate your Eustachian tubes in song! Join your friends in a hearty rendition of "A White Sport-Coat, and a Pink Eustachian".
