Not to worry, Canada will be banning them soon.

Obviously, we need to mandate a 3 day waiting period on the purchase of
cotton swabs...

"The best way to clean inside one's ear is with the little finger, he said."

Funny, my doctor always told me not to stick anything smaller than my thumb
in my ear.

Mine said "elbow." I didn't listen to him. I'm doomed.

Opened up paperclips do a great job of scratching the inside of the ear.
Cotton swabs are too flexible to work well.

If you were from the Panhandle of Florida, I suspect that you would have
said that keys work well... Being from southern Florida, I'm surprised you
didn't claim that golf tees work well... Or is that just for the retirees?

Keys were OK before I discovered paperclips.

It must be immigrants from up north that are using golf tees. I've never
tried that. I suspect the diameter would be too much.

Grumman-581 - 06 Feb 2008 14:48 GMT
> Keys were OK before I discovered paperclips.

The best think that I ever discovered was the old bobby pins made out of
flat metal (vs round metal like the paper clips)...
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f2/Bobby_pin.jpg

Pull them apart a bit so that the curved spot made a 180 degree turn
instead of the 260 degree or so turn that they make when new... This makes
the two ends a bit further apart so it doesn't twist in your fingers...
Great for scratching that in the ear spot that q-tips just don't quite
get... Back in the '60s and '70s, these were usually easy enough to find
around the house since women used them quite a bit in their hair styles of
the days...

With the oriental culture, they have a device called an ear pick for this
sort of endeavor...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ear_pick

The ones that I've seen were usually made from brass... Grace lost hers
many years ago and they didn't sell them around there at that time, so I
took a piece of brass brazing rod, hammered the tip flat, filed the edges
of the top smooth, and put a slight bend in the tip, just like the
original... She picked up some new ones the next time she visited Taiwan...

For drying my ears, I've found that a small piece of single-ply toilet
paper folded multiple times and then clipped in a pair of forceps works
well...

Paperclips are much better than golf tees. My mom used to use a bobby
pin on us kids. She'd probably be charged by the CAS today if she did
that.

I'm with you on that one. I know from experience that the eraser end
of a pencil's a bad tool to use.

That's even worse than the pointy end of a golf tee.

My doc said that it's a bad idea to use q-tips or kleenex because of
the lint buildup. He said he's seen ears that were clogged with it.
Nice image - ear wax and lint mixed and allowed to harden around the
ear hairs. Sweet. 8(

Quite a few kids (and adults) end up going to the doctor to get that
removed from what I understand... I've seen it done before and the kid was
rather noisily complaining about the pain associated with the removeal...
The doctor used a squeeze bulb with what appeared to be warm water and
squirted it up into the ear canal to soften the wax and flush it out...
They use that kidney shaped metal tray to catch the fluid and such that
runs out of the ear... It pretty much matches the curve of the head
underneath the ear... I had always wondered what that strange looking tray
was for...

Luckily for me this wasn't an ENT but was just a general practitioner.
Otherwise, I might have needed to start looking for a new ENT.  You know,
looking for a new ENT might actually be a good idea anyway though, seeing as
how I don't currently have one.

Are you saying that you are not satisfied with your current one?

One of the problems with going to doctors is that they tell you things
that you probably wouldn't want to know...

 It'll be no further concerns after Canada registers, bans and confiscates
cotton swabs, although border smuggling may be an issue.

 It's good to know that the Canadians never start gun threads.

That would be "Canadian punks" like MFO.

Unfortunately for him and the other eastern Chicken Littles, I know
Canadians that aren't lickspittle liberal handwringers.

And whom, in fact, still have guns that have been in the family for decades
that aren't registered, nor confiscated.

Does anybody here really think that taking away the guns will stop
killing? Or knives, or icepicks, or chains, or ropes, or baseball
bats, or poisons, or cars & trucks. People are gonna kill people,
and they'll always think of a new weapon if you take away the old ones.
And just because I carry a potential weapon doesn't mean I intend to
commit murder, or that I may be tempted to commit murder.
I often carry a big ugly knife. Lots of my friends do too.
I have never heard of anyone being tempted to use the knife on
anyone just because they have it with them. You gotta be in the
mood to do the killing and you use what's at hand. -Jeff Cooper

Of what?  

I was just bored -- I wanted to catch the news at 10 and they started
off with the all the US political BS.  Too boring by far, and why
would any of us care?  Democrats tend to be tougher towards other
countries, and the Republicans haven't been much better.

You're an American.  Therefore, you have American hate towards other
countries.

And I responded to your xenophobic bigotry and AC attack.  One of
countless AC attacks, for that matter.

Probably for the same reasons as conservatives.

Not confusing, Bob, frightening. They're frightened of the idea that they
actually have to make decisions for themselves and, shudder, suffer the
consequences.

Obviously, I was talking about the cotton swabs.

Seems that some people need directions on how to use cotton swabs.

Why do you think I'm a liberal?  I have some views that could be
considered liberal and others that would conservative.

One size does not fit all.

No wonder they don't trust themselves or others with simple harmonic
mechanisms like guns, sh.t, according to Francis, Bradley and FFO they cant
handle a f.cking Q-Tip.

I find using an ink pen can work very well but you have to make sure that
you clean the end of the pen it doesn't write to well with the wax on the
end.

allow... For society does not control crime, ever, by forcing the
