can ya ear me?


Peace,

So the Purple Yamster had to go to the otologist this past friday because the left ear was just stank and shit, i hardly could hear - all clogged up, that's what exactly it was. talking to the otologist, he asked me if i used q tips and i told him yes. he made knowledge born that the same manufacturer of q tips also makes liquid for ear infections. not that you can't use cotton swabs - you can use them - just for the outer portion of the ear and just in case y'all didn't know the ear naturally cleans itself - say what?! yeah, peep this joint: FindArticles - Now ear this

during my brief appointment with the doc, he basically vacuumed my ear and had a tool like this: http://flickr.com/photos/67964595@N00/103582814/ (arkworld also breaks down her experience with the tool in her asian household) scraping all the gold nuggets stuck inside my ear mine. i was mad disappointed because i felt like i could have had that same treatment at home minus the vaccum and the $100 payment. anyways, after my visit, my ole dad was speaking about how in vietnam (yes, there is a chinese presence in vietnam) at the barbers shop, the barbers would, for an extra fee would clean out ya ears.

when i got back to the rest, i had to investigate; i made some observations and came to the conclusion that even the manufacturer of cotton swabs ain't really tootin' its horn for ear waxage control, but for the many the other uses ...everything but ears...see for yourself below:








on a more positive note, the yamster needs to collab with these folks: http://purpleyamcafe.com/ - which came first the purple yamster or the purple yam cafe? the world will never know, it's like the amount of licks it takes to get to the center of the tootsie pop. :)
