Today I got a piece of wax pulled out of my ear the size of a beetle. I took a picture of it and sent it to my dad. He thought that was pretty weird. Then we spent five minutes over the phone marveling at its enormity and proportion. It's removal was slightly momentous maybe even religious in that there was a loud 'pop' and then noise suddenly flooded back in after two weeks of almost being deaf in my left ear. The interns at the hospital all took turns marveling at what had been uncovered. It was a great day.
