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 ??? |

Location: Omaha, NE | Keys work well, but they have to be the right kind. The key to my Suburban is perfect. The key to my office door is terrible. Generally, older keys are smoother and thus more comfortable.
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. |
