...cats love the stuff.  Take a q-tip and clean your ear, then let the cat sniff the q-tip.  Chances are it will try to eat it.

Don’t ask me how I know these things.

It’s gross, and it can only serve to trap insects in there.  :sick:

Eyebrows are for expressing emotion, and to keep sweat from entering your eyes off the brow.  That one’s easy.

Now ear wax:

The absence of ear wax may result in dry, itchy ears, and even infection.

I have heard that it captures some of the vibrations from loud noises so that it doesn’t hurt your ear… :think:

The purpose of earwax is to keep the q-tip company in business.

But don’t you love the way Q-tips feel in your ears?  It’s sinful…
