I went swimming today, and had water in my ear afterwards. I could hear it sloshing around and couldn’t get it out at first. It was kind of a cool/weird feeling, like pressing on a bruise or sore spot. Then I leaned my head over and did a headbanging impression, before it drained out. Man that felt good. Then I used a q-tip. Not that I would ever stick the q-tip past the suggested outer part of the ear, but isn’t it weird that something wrong (like sticking a q-tip way down in your ear) can feel so right? Why is that anyway? Not that it matters.
