Eraser end of the pencil.

[The Fonz]

One of the breadsticks from my handisnacks.

Then offer the the breadstick to a co-worker, and tell him it's just cheese on the end.

The tiny fake trees on the condo model at the Presentation Center right now would work perfect. they pretty much are just green Q-tips. I'm going to try!

[jammies]

I think there's a vacuum around here somewhere.

Rrrrrrrr-rrrrrr-rrrrrr ka-chunk OH MY GOD I THINK I JUST SUCKED AN EARDRUM OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!

Well, I don't have an office. The university computer lab is as close as it gets.

Lets see: I'd use a wadded up page from the MLA handbook. Oh formatting, how I hate thee!

[FurnaceFace]

Willie: Yeah, I know what you mean. You know, the other day, I took one o' them, uh--?

Frankie: Meat thermometers?

Willie: Yeah! And I just shoved it into my ear, you know? As far as it could go, you know? But then I took one o' them, uh--?

Frankie: Ball-peen hammers?

Willie: Right. And just whacked it a few times right in there, you know.

Frankie: Boy, that must smart.

Willie: I know! I HATE when THAT happens.

I wear earplugs all day. Keeps my ears looking clean on the outside. But after about 5-6 months I take a visit to the doctor to have them flushed.

Otherwise, the cap to a bic pen.

[troutman]

Seriously - a few drops of olive oil in the ear for a minute or so clears things up - flush with warm water. Q-Tips are bad.

[zukes]

Paperclips work best, keys are second, then the pinky. After that use a long pin but be careful and take it slow. The ends of some pens work, I have tried jamming the corner of a ruler in there. I'll use my lunch untensils in my desk as a last resort.

Not that I ever clean my ears in my office.

[Drunk Skunk]

A Kleenex, rolled up on one end, then worked deep into the ol' ear canal.

[worth]

are qtips actually bad for your ears? i've used them for quite a while. I have a hearing check every year from work and they say my hearing is fine. don't think a qtip can be any worse than the end of a pen.
