That is funny!! Reminds me of when I was a kid and would watch Captain Kangaroo. He would stick a carrot in one ear and take it out the other ear. My mother had a plant on top of the television that had split peas on top. Trying to be like The Captain, I took some of the split peas and put in one ear. Lo and behold, they did not come out the other ear!!!
We had to take a trip to the doctor, who fished them out of my ear.
