inner cleanliness
When the doctor looks into your ears with that cold prongy gadget, what does she see? In the example above, she has just discovered that your inner child has inserted the tip of a wax crayon in your lug, in an attempt to tickle your brain.
Now you can see for yourself, via this fetching Japanese gadget which enables you to a) examine your own ear canal and b) clean it out, using a tiny camera and a light on a stick. I love this description of the instructions:
“The Japanese translation seems to be weird but we are assuming it has the ability to clean your ears too.”
With a longer hose, there are other orifices you could inspect, though cleaning them could be a good deal ikkier.
Don’t these people know you can buy a five dollar bottle of drops that just dissolves the cholesterol in your ears?

Which bottle of drops be that? I have not yet found one of those products that works. (Both partner and I get our ears syringed by the doctor once, twice a year.)

I find all ear stuff highly disgusting, but unfortunately am forced to care because of being the mother of four ears (plus my own two, but they seem to have taken care of themselves for 37 years – you’d think I could have passed that gene on, where’s natural selection when you need it?).

Firstly, the Japs are all crazy.
Secondly, the ear problems of anybody who has subjected themselves to fkn great Marshall amp stacks for decades, is a rarely mentioned topic.
All rockstars and liggers get ear buildup from the protective mechanisms of their poor ears trying to block out the threat with wax buildup.
Thirdly, all you female criminal barristers madly learning karate for protection from your ‘clients’ need only know that a really good whack against any attackers ear witll drop them like a stone and prevent them from getting up due to burst middle ear. Any 20-stone Maori bouncer can keep comin atcha even if you stab him in the chest, but the eardrum rules balance.
Finally, ALL small children need to be supervised constantly whatever they are handling. The Childrens Hospital is packed with kids whose parents look away for a moment.
