KWag and the Flammable Ear Cleaner Thingy

A few years back, Kdawg Wagnon gave me an ear cleaner thingy. Now, in general, KWag is a a person of great sense, judgment, and style. So, I felt pretty confident that her gift would become one of my favorites. . .as most of her gifts do. With Kimmy as my faithful assistant, I followed the directions on the package. I put a hole in a paper plate, placed the device in my ear, and Kimmy lit the top of it with a match. About the time I could smell my hair burning, we panicked and quickly pulled the device from my sensory organ. I think we might have "pulled the plug" prematurely because nothing really happened. My ears felt exactly the same. . .dirty? I suppose there really isn't a point to this story. I was just reminded of the experience today when KWag called during her lunch hour. I love that she was getting a carrot and gorgonzola salad and thought to call me in the middle of the day. Now that's friendship.
