Subject:Gas in my ear (OUCH!)

Subject line says it all.  I was replacing my fuel filter today, making
sure I wasn't right under the filter so I wouldn't get any gas in my EYE,
when some gas dribbled out and instead of just dropping down, it traveled
along the fuel line and dripped right in my EAR!  Talk about PAIN. I jammed
the hose in my ear, but it didn't seem to help. I was all dizzy. I barely
made it upstairs to get a Q-tip, but that didn't help either. I was home
alone, but our neighbor across the street is a doctor, and she was home.
She ended up sticking a funnel in my ear and pouring warm water in it for
about half an hour. 6 hours later, and I still have a headache from it.
BE CAREFUL WITH GAS!!!
