Ear candling, the next phase.

[jomifl]

Having read elsewhere that Tinkerbelle has successfully had her ears candled and having found out what it entails my first thought was 'you couldn't make it up'. But we can make it up, so come on folks suggestions for the next alternative therapy cult/rage/fashion. Nothing plausible please, out of respect to new age 'thinking'.

There's a couple, at least I think they're a couple, offering 3 handed massage on the local Gumtree site.

[RATTER15]

Why do I think that this is going to a little silly? :)

[daffy654]

Why only 3 handed I wonder sandy? If there are two people and neither are missing a limb then it really should be 4 handed, or maybe the 4th hand will be busy doing something else. ;)

[jomifl]

Hopefully Ratter :-)

[sandyRoe]

Rifling your pockets?^^^

[jomifl]

You get a 25% discount daffy

[daffy654]

I have absolutely no patience with all this 'alternative' therapy mallarkey.
A fool and his money....

[jomifl]

Daffy, are you suggesting taking money from fools as a form of therapy, how would that work approximately?

^^That's for anyone who hasn't a clue about ear candling - like me. :o/

How about 'knee knocking' - a therapy to help the patient deal with the sudden and uncontrollable effects of fear?

[mccfluff]

why on earth would you want to do that?

[atrollope]

Confused..thought this might be a guide to making Candles using Earwax :-(

[mccfluff]

now that could be the next thing

earwax candles the aroma will tantalise you

[ludwig]

This kind of thing really gets on my wick. Actually I had my ears candled once. I found it a very pleasant and relaxing experience.

[birdie1971]

It may well be enjoyable but it has zero medicinal value.

[naomi24]

Ludwig, did you really have it done? Why?

[sandyRoe]

My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends
It gives a lovely light.

It also burnt my ears quite badly :-(

[jomifl]

Anyone interested in buying some second hand leaches?

[jomifl]

^Sorry...leeches

[sandyRoe]

I noticed, but I didn't like to say ;-)

[snags]

jomifi, I'll swap those leeches for my trepanning drill...
