Wet Willy = sexy?

I have a Q-Tip story...
I was cleaning my ears one morning when I switched ears with a new Q-Tip. I threw the used Q-Tip into the waste basket. I noticed that I didn't quite hit the target and I leaned over with the other Q-Tip still in my ear. As I picked up the used Q-Tip and tossed it into the waste basket I momentarily lost my balance, and fell towards the wall. The Q-Tip that was in my ear hit the wall and proceeded about an inch into my head!

I immediately pulled out the Q-Tip and blood. I went to the clinic and the Doc said that there was nothing they could do. It feels like I have water in my ear all the time now.

I bet that a Q-Tip can kill, it almost killed me. I don't use Q-Tips anymore, I'm not allowed.
