Fingers Stuck In Your Ear
                             G David Schwartz
When I was young … well not a baby, thought my sister called me that a number of times, I loved riding my bicycle. I could sit on the flat, slightly padded seat and move my legs around and around and that way travel along the ground.
While riding a bicycle you could, but it is really not recommended to stick your fingers in your ears. The motto is "Two hands on the wheel so you are ale to feel the fresh air flowing past rather than you falling on your past." That being so, I was are not to ever stick my fingers in my ears while my hands were to be on the wheel which steers, or past tense, the wheel which stole. Not even if I could hear my sister yelling at me.
My grandfather, a very wise man, told me I ought not stick my fingers (nor anyone else finders) in my ears because they may get stuck. I took his advise for a long while with the result that I nearly went deaf at the Beatles concert. I should have turned the remote down, but at the drag strip it was not able to tune the noise off or lower the sound.
But let me end by staying this short thought. You can not save your hearing by sticking fingers in ears, yours or anyone else's.
There must be a better was to wipe the grease off of your fingers.
