Actual news report on the popular Water-gun: Two physicians, in a note in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, wrote glowingly of the ability of the Super Soaker Max-D 5000 squirt weapon to quickly and safely loosen severely impacted Ear Wax (knowledge learned from an emergency use when No standard ear-syringing equipment was available). In fact,they wrote, since the Super Soaker holds much more water than the standard equipment, using it would actually shorten patients' office visits. (However,the Super Soaker was obviously not anticipated for medical use; its awkward design assured that patient and doctor would be drenched by excess spray.) (As I said, that is an actual report in the CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION JOURNAL.)
Speaking for Myself(namely Preston), when I clean out my own ear-wax, I'm so clumsy that even though I use the STANDARD rubber-bulb, I STILL drench myself, so the medical report is understandable.
