Ears of Fire!

So among the more amusing things that happened to me this past weekend was having my ears on fire and letting a friend lite up his cigarrette using my ear! Lets make this clear that by ears on fire I don't mean the slang about when someone's talking behind your back, I'm talking about real flames and real ear! It started with a few friends on a porch talking about random things, I have no idea how the conversation came about but someone said there are these candles that are hollow inside and you stick one end in your ear and lite up the other end and the flame consumes the oxygen inside the hollow candle which in turn creates a vacume that sucks your ear wax out, sounds exciting? What was even more interesting was that the host had bought a couple of these things and had tried it before and still had one left! I thought what better thing to do on a Sat night at around 10pm than to stick a burning candle in my ear so I volenteered, and as fun and amusing as it was, I can tell you it really wasn't the most effective way to get rid of ear wax out, I'd still recommend a q-tip, but a friend lighting a ciggarette off my ear was priceless!
