I do this with the fitted plugs as well...I find that it just seats them a bit better and provides a better seal

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 ?"
