Ok, so –I have been told that there are people out there who DIG in their ears with fucking KEYS!
Yup- car, house, safety deposit….pick your key! Then…..pick your ear?? WTF?
#1- this fact distressed me. #2- How could I be 32 and have never witnessed such a terrifying event?! Worse, the person who told me about it seems to see this kind of activity all the time. Am I really that un-observant? That couldn’t be it! I mean, let’s face it, I have witnessed everything from booger eaters to ass pickers (my favorite) in just about every social situation possible. But…..no key-to-ear action.
Thus….the facts at hand led me to believe that this was just another urban myth –like Bigfoot and The Banana Boy (long story). The only way to truly solve this mystery was to take a poll.
Over a 24 hour period, I questioned exactly 100 people. It was a simple one question survey that asked…..”What do you stick in your ear (other than a cue tip) to clean that shit out??!!”
HERE ARE THE RESULTS:
56 people admitted to using a finger. Index was the most popular, but a few liked the pinky.
31 people were apt to twist up a tissue into some sort of makeshift spear, and spin it around in there. This was usually done shamefully in a corner with no one around.
1 person preferred the eraser end of a good pencil to get the job done. Apparently rubber is the worlds best wax grabber. It was stated though, that the eraser was no longer good for….well…anything.
………AND,
HOLY SHIT! 12 people stated that, at one time or another, they had actually grabbed their car keys and went dirt diggin!!!!**
My god in heaven.
** no individual in this demographic agreed to show me said activity, nor did they want to be identified in any way.
-Looks like I have a call to make….to the Myth Busters.
…………………………..maybe there IS a Bigfoot after all.
