Ear Wigs.... Ugh.

Those who know me are aware that I'm phobic of ear wigs.

Seriously.  The little fuckers scare the shit out of me.  Once, a few years back, my girlfriend at the time saw an earwig in our bed.  She told me of this, saying something along the lines of "It was crawling in our sheets, but I couldn't find it.  For all I know, it's still in there."

I slept on the couch for a week. 

People tease me for all sorts of reasons, and I'm cool with that, but if someone brings up ear wigs, I freeze up and get anxious.  They know not to press the subject.  In fact, if I see one on the pavement, I'll usually jump back, and cross the street to avoid the thing.  It's quite shameful, really.

So, I'm at work today, and I'm perusing old medical blogs - because this is how I pass the time.  I'm strange like that.  Of course, I read the blogs for self instruction reasons, and not for erotic reasons or anything creepy.

That's what crime scene photos are for.

Anyways, I'm perusing Your Er Doc's blog, and having a pretty enjoyable time as I'm reading his back posts.  They're both entertaining and informative. 

Then I come across this post.  Essentially - an ear wig crawled into a patient's ear.  The patient flipped out.  When I read it, I didn't know what a "pincer bug" was (we don't use that term in my neck of the woods) but when I used google to look it up...

Let's just say that I still feel sick to the stomach.  Totally scared the shit out of me.

    I acted less than masculine-ly about the whole affair. :P

  7. It should be noted that whilst ordering papers for sale at paper writing service, you can get unkind attitude. In case you feel that the bureau is trying to cheat you, don't buy term paper from it. wig of human hair

  8. Ribbon hairpieces are an especially famous sort of hairpiece since it accommodates a more regular look than numerous different hairpieces. As a rule, this is the sort of hairpiece that famous people ordinarily wear.
