    Ear Bud Envy
    Hello:

    I have these really cute ears. However, they're shaped wrong. I don't know why, but I can't keep ear buds in 'em. They just fall out. I push and bend - and they still fall out. It even hurts, I've pushed so hard. I see people walking around, even riding bicycles bouncing along wearing 'em... Me?? I can't even sit still - they just fall out. What's wrong with me?

    Is there an operation I can get that will fix my ears? Maybe I can have the ear buds permanently installed - yeah, that's it.

    I don't know. Maybe there are bigger problems in the world, but I can't think of any.

    Poor excon, suffering with Earbuditis. I'm sorry to tell you that it is a terminal condition.

    Now, on the lighter side, you can live longer if you get the earbuds that have little strappy like thingies that go over the tops of your ears to help hold the buds in place.

    I've slowed the progression of my earbuditis by using these thingies I got at WalMart.

    I have thought about using a staple gun to ensure they stay put?

    That is quite the painful procedure. Duct tape works nicely enough and is less traumatic. :p

    Hello ben:

    I had staples in my ears once. They were supposed to stop me from smoking. But, they just kept me awake, so I smoked even more.

    Nope. Staples ain't it. What about superglue? Hmmm.

    Thanks.

    I'm glad to hear you are a happy camper now. Looks like the earbuditis has been cured.

    Mine look like this.

    Sorry I didn't see this before, I could have saved you some money. There is a peculiar problem men get at your age. All you gots to do is trim that hair growing in your ears and your old ear buds would have fit just fine. ;)
