Multipurpose earplugs

**Fatjim** · 26th January 2007, 21:21

Yesterday i came up with a great idea for old earplugs quite by mistake.

I was throwing an old dirty pair out the other day and the rubbish bin didn't have a liner in it. So I thought to myself, I wonder how long they'll take to flush. With that in mind I deposited both of them in the dunny and gave it a flick of the wrist. That was 3 days ago.

But in the meantime, they've proven to be a fantastic aid to the improvement of the overall accuracy amongst the younger males in the family. Giving the lads something to aim up has greatly reduced the yelling and mopping that has been going on recently.

Also, they look a lot cleaner now and I'm thinking i might try and reuse them since most of the wax and finger oil seems to have been flushed away. Although after a particularly nasty curry or a runaway pizza i start to doubt whether thats a good idea.

Uric acid works wonders on earwax.

Fuck, I'm bored too.

Beats me why you fellas can't aim properly in the first place - either that or, FFS, sit down!! There is nothing worse than getting out of bed in the wee small hours, heading barefoot for the loo, only to step in someone else's pee - YUK!!!!!

I see the conversation on this thread is realy going down the gurgler
Sounds like a good idea thou we have six boys and no end of trouble in the aim area and all the threats in the world (you know like "ill rub your bloody nose in it")dont make any difference, tried corks and the likes but they seem to sink em

I used to wear disposable plugs every day all day, and found if I left them in my pockets, the washing machine did a fine cleaning job (possibly not as much fun as the dunny). Wifey left the cleaned ones on the winow sill at the back door - never caught short!
