Location: Phoenix AZ | It's been over 100 years since the industrial revolution. We've got technology up the wazoo, the computer age. Al Gore even invented the internet. So, am I the ONLY one who finds it ironic that to this day the best tool for cleaning out your ears is STILL the cap off a BIC pen ??? |

So, here's the followup question...when you go in and give it a good scrape, are you pleased or disappointed when the key/pen cap comes out clean? |

Mimikaki - Japanese ear scrapers.
Go to a parlor and have a Japanese lass scrape out your ears for you |

And let me add, I've had them clean my ears, and they do an excellent job. |

Plus you ear canal has that tingly feeling of clean...
And you can hear better too!
If you come-up empty, you feel empty! |

I'd be to ashamed to admit my ears could be passed off as chicken wings! :o
BTW - is it difficult to get the sauce outta your hair? |

I've done busts of all presidents up to #42...
for #43, I'm thinking of a different medium |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | I went to the doctor a while back and had mine flushed out with what appeared to be a high-end squirt gun. What a diffference! I thought, hey, I can do this. If a squirt gun works well, might a power washer work better? Doesn't take as long, either. |
