My sweet sister brought over some hodo vodo ear cleaning tubes. They are these long hollow funnels that you jam as deep into your ear as you can and the set on FIRE! Yeah, Andrea had some convincing to do before I was brave enough to do it. But she swore that she had done it before and that it was perectly safe. So I get in the position and get all torched up and honestly I don't feel anything. I can hear some crackling fromt he fire but that is it. It took about 10 minute for it to burn all the way down. The tube is in the ear, the plate is about 3 inches away from your ear and you let the tube burn all the way down till it just about touches the plate. Then you douse it in a close by cup of water, and unravel it. It was SOOOOOOOO gross! I didn't take pictures because I didn't want anyone throwing up but maximum nastiness had been achieved. The tube had filled up with wax and ear gunk and as gross as it was, the nasty was in the tube and not in your ear. And that was cool. I had liberated ear, so much to the point that myhead felt heavier on one side then the other. So I flipped over an repeatedand liberated both my ears from gook and gunk. I am so glad that I did it.
