I hate ear infections — the pain and the dizziness.
But an ear infection got me a job once. I was in so much pain and had so much trouble hearing that the whole interview (which was with a group of people) was an incredible struggle; I was amazed when they offered me the job. One day, I asked why I was offered the job and was told that, among other things, they were really impressed with the intense concentration I showed during the interview.
McCroskey: Alright, Kolosomo, you work the relay, Roberts, check all air traffic within five miles. And you! Get that finger out of your ear. You don’t know where that finger’s been!
just a small one.
“you can’t? I’m afraid I must revoke your membership in the International Organization of Porn Bloggers.”
there, no more jokes.
I had an ear infection a while ago. got so dizzy, I couldn’t drive. which is a problem in the city I live in, because public transit sucks, and my friends are unreliable (and even if I could call their cell phones, how to carry out a conversation?)

That’s not funny.
Gah. It seems like something’s been going around… maybe because of the change in weather?

That’s very odd, because I just uttered that precise sentence (having tugged on my right ear and winced).

This should cheer you up, then. Perhaps you got it from playing with this?
I came into this comment thread with the full intention of writing exactly what Chris Clarke wrote.
I just felt like announcing that. Yet more evidence that Chris Clarke is a full-on genius.
RA, as much as I love Oscar Wilde, that definitely does not cheer me up. I’m so seeing a doctor tomorrow.
I can’t swallow. No jokes, please.
Lauren, what I meant was that you should be cheered up by the prospect of misdiagnoisis — maybe all you have is what they thought he had.
I can’t swallow.
Oh, that bad, huh? Ouch.
Hope they give you something other than cipro for it.

still, get well soon. anti-biotics and stuff.
Sorry to read that. I hope you get better soon.
Ack. I hope you get better soon. I’ve never had an ear infection but I hear they are not fun.
