First the short (and very misleading) version: this golden ball came out of my body.
Ok now the longer more sensical version.
This morning after taking a shower and getting dressed I still felt like I had some water in my outer ear, so I went to do a quick Q-tip swab. When I looked at the cotton swab (because you always look, don’t you?) I saw a miniature gold ball shining on the end of it. Now, remember that I had only been up for a short period of time when this happened and was probably still half asleep. But I would be lying if I didn’t say that aside from the obvious “WTF is this?” thoughts I had, I also thought for a nanosecond “I have somehow mutated into a modern Chinese leprechaun that is capable of producing gold from within my body.” Unfortunately and obviously this was not the case, as the little gold ball burst when I poked it and I smelled the distinct scent of my new grape seed oil and lemongrass body wash. The little orb was like a mini-paintball, with a thin soft membrane. Somehow one of the little scent beads found its way into my ear and managed to stay intact throughout the showering, drying, and getting dressed routine. That is pretty amazing in itself considering that to take the picture above I burst 2 of the things even when trying to gently fish it out of the body wash.
So unfortunately I am still incapable of creating and secreting precious metals from my body. I don’t know what’s more embarrassing, thinking for a second that I had a gold ball in my ear, or admitting to the internet that I use grape seed oil and lemongrass body wash.
In other thoughts, why is Dial using little paintballs in their body soaps? Isn’t it supposed to be something that actually dissolves on its own in water? And why does everything have to have a smell these days?
