I remember those catalogs (Somebody Davis? Haverhills? that sold household sundries ranging from useful to, uh, "whimsical". That was a favorite adjective of the catalog writers and I quickly recognized it as a code word for "crap". A pair of items never described as "whimsical" were these two rotary hair trimmers. One ear, and one (stainless) nose. They were always in there, next to the syringe doodads for sucking zits off your nose. Why do we get hairy ears? Our brain shrinks, and the developing space is irresistible to mud daubers. Ear hair grows as a defense. Ear wax merely serves as an upscale building material. My right ear has sprouted its first hair. It's armpit grade. A big'un. Wife teases me about it and threatens to pull it out. I realize it's not in broken heel territory, but for a second anyway it's got to be close.
