Remember my ear buds? You know, the ones that are falling apart and hold themselves together with earwax and nothing more? Yeah, those.
Well, they've returned for more adventures in madness. It all happened about three nights ago, when I was listening to music on my iPad before bed. I finally decided to go to bed, so pulled back the covers with one hand while holding my iPad in the other. The ear buds, of course, were in use.
Well, when I crawled under the covers, I happened to generate some static electricity. Normally, this wouldn't have been a problem, but that night it was.
See, the static electricity traveled through the ear buds and INTO MY EARDRUMS. Have you had your inner ear shocked lately? Take my word for it: it's not enjoyable in the slightest. I responded with lightning-fast reflexes, ripping the ear buds from my head. When they hit the floor, though, they fell apart, so I don't think I accomplished anything.

Hello there, commenter. I'll have you know that I enjoy and read every comment I get, though I can't figure out how to reply. This is either of my own ignorance or because a 'reply' button is not yet in existence.
