"Escaped" through a flaw in the flue? There's a flaw in the idea of
fleas flying, or possibly in the reality of fleas trying to fly.

I think Geary was parodying the death of A. G. N. Flew. Flew was a renowned
atheist, but when he died, his spirit, at long last, flew.
He's up in heaven now.

Geary:
"A flea and fly were caught in a flue
and they didn't know what to do.
"Let us flee," said the fly.
"Let us fly,: said the flea.
So they flew through a flaw in the flue.
