Caution: Ear Plugs

Just a word of warning...when flying on a plane and engaging in the use of ear plugs to regulate pressure on take-off or landing, please read instructions carefully and thoroughly. Otherwise, you might end up like the the gentleman who sat to my left last week from Colorado to Arizona. Unfortunately, he did not read the instructions correctly, and instead of plugging his nose and blowing before inserting the ear plug, he did it after. Taking off in Tennessee, proved to be a bit painful as the ear plug was sucked into his ear canal. No longer visible to the naked eye by looking in the ear. However, you could see the outline of it on his neck, directly behind and a little south of his ear...OUCH!
