Me too...

I did laugh when two mates, standing next to each other drinking coffee, decided it was time to go. One picked up his plugs, licked them and stuck them in his ears, the other turned round and said "Do you enjoy the taste of MY earwax ?"

The plonker had picked up the wrong ones - Euurgh ! :D:smt087

These have had good reviews in some bike mags. I must try some myself instead of the foam ones!
