This is what is looks like when you are done. Gross, huh? Well, Ken got curious and did a little experiment. He lit a candle and instead of putting it in an ear he put it in the tip of his finger. The result was exactly the same. We've been duped! The mother load of ear wax we assumed we were extracting from our ears has all been a load of crap! The candle on the left came from my ear, the candle on the right came from Ken's finger. See any difference? Me, either! Moral of the story, do not spend extra money on ear candles, the fun's over, they're a SHAM! Thank you to our 'friends', you know who you are. :)

Ear Candle...Experiment
A few years ago some friends of ours introduced us to ear candles. The idea is that you take a hollow tapered candle, stick it in your ear then light the candle. The heat from the candle loosens the wax and creates a sucking action that gently removes the wax from your ears. When you are done the fun part is cutting open whats left of the candle and examining the disgusting ear wax. It's kind of a sick game to see who has the grossest ears.

Popping our bubble like that, is uncool :) I'm totally baffled. I can't believe it. That is so not cool. You should send this message to your "friends" that didn't know of this SHAM....LOL WOW!!
Maybe the candles do work. Maybe Ken just needs to pull his finger out of his ear more often (and don't just stick it in your nose.) I must say Nancy, if all that really did come out of your ear that would explain why you can't hear me when I call your name in the hallways at church. Or are you just ignoring me on purpose?
Shelly, Shelly, Shelly you must speak up! The truth is it's YOU that ignores ME in church, you just thought you came up with a clever excuse! You may be right about the candle though, perhaps Ken should keep his fingers out of his ears.
The candles obviously work because if anyone knows ken, they've had to deal with his disgusting waxie hands before. The picture proves it, no waxie build up in kens hand after the candle.....coincidence, I don't think so.
