Waiter, there's a hair in my ear!...

Some say it's one of the signs of growing older but, no, this has been going on now for more than a decade. Used to be, I'd find one every now and then... every month or so.... but then, it happened faster and faster... once a week...

... once a day...

... once an hour...

... all the friggin time!...

Yes, we're talking about the ever-popular "Hair in the Ear": ear-hair. Sure, it's gross. Sure, it's repugnant.

But ladies, you don't know the half of it!

You want to talk about uncomfortable? A pebble in your shoe? A split fingernail? Gerbil up your butthole? (Sorry, Richard.) Well, hair in your ear tops all of these!

It's not that it's painful - no, it's annoying! Imagine if you had someone sticking a hair into your ear! Over and over! Well, we do - and it's OUR OWN HAIR!

Now, some men don't have any problem with this... they're freaks.

There's actually a product on the market that looks and sounds a lot like a drill to remove ear-hair. You simply put it in your ear... wait. Yes. I said that. You put a drill-like contraption into your ear. PASS!

Personally, I pluck. Women have their bikini area... men have their ears. Occasionally, you'll find a hair that's so long it would have had to have come from somewhere in the middle of your back... Trust me, it's best that you don't question these. Just be glad they're gone.

Some men pour acid into their ears... But enough about George W. Bush!

It's particularly annoying when you're at work and you feel it. You feel the hair. It's poking you in the ear. Poking you in the brain! It's in there and you can't get to it! Your fingers are too big to pluck it! You can't get it out and it's poking you and DRIVING YOU MAD! YOU MUST GO HOME! YOU MUST GO PLUCK IT! AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!

... not me, personally, mind you...
