Q-tip

The people who work at customs in Australia deserve a rasie! The averted a major disaster by having my two Sports Illustrated magazines held a customs for inspection... I can only assume they were kept on the top of the toilet in the employees mens room for reading material. I mean I know I was excited to read the NFL preview magazine and I guess they were too.

Speaking of averting disasters... we had our own little crisis about a week ago. Being the poor students that Erin and I are we are always looking for the best deal. However, I strongly feel that no expense should be spared when it comes to the selection of q-tips. One day Erin decided to break this rule and bought q-tips from the dollar store. They were in essence a lolly-pop stick with a bite of cotton taken out ofthe top of a Tylenol bottle. I bitched and moaned about how saving fifty cents off of q-tips is not worth at and that my ears only deserve the best. Well time went on and I dealt with this until about a week ago when I cleaning out my ears and realized that the soothing sensation of my ears being opened to the world was no longer there and it was replaced by every sound sounding a little duller. The Tylenol cotton had slid right off the end of the lolly-pop stick and was logged in my ear. Let me tell you just how uncomfortable it is having a piece of cotton rub against the side of your brain. I tried to use tweezers to get out the cotton, but couldn't so I waited for Erin to get home. Erin being the chicken that she was co mplained that the tweezers weren't long enough and that she wouldn't be able to get the cotton block out. Out of she desperation I stuffed the tweezer next to my frontal lobe and got the cotton out, but lets this be a lesson to you at home... Do not buy cheap q-tips.
