Do you use Q-Tips in ways they are not intended to be used?

I thought removal of ear wax was the sole reason for a q-tip's existence? I thought people would be all "aww hell naw I use a bent paperclip to clean my ears."

How ya doing, buddy?

Once, I used the stem of a Bic pen cap. That thing worked great! Scraped the wax right out of there. But I know that's probably a hazardous route, so I did it just the once. But if they ever released a similar product for earwax removal, I'd buy it.

See, I had a really bad ear infection once and I used an unbent paperclip to pry out the demon slime which was oozing around in there. Similarly hazardous but as long as you're mindful of how far in you've got it stuck, and no one jostles your elbow, you're golden!

There's nowhere I can't reach.
