Be careful where you sleep.

My audiology professor told an anecdote last semester about a more unusual ear exam.  The client evidently had an insect lodged in his ear, because when my professor looked through the otoscope, there were two eyes staring back at him.  Apparently he wasn't the only one to whom this has happened.

Thanks Meredith, now I'm not going to sleep very well tonight. That is such a nightmare!

Oh high merciful heaven. I'll be sleeping with cotton in my ears. Oh my. ... Ohhhh My.

Whoa, I didn't mean to scare everybody.  I promise there's nothing to worry about.  The odds are pretty high up there for getting a bug stuck in your ear.

I mean, usually they just crawl back out.
