The Knoxville Police department sent out a reminder on their Facebook page Thursday stating that flashlights should never be used in place of headlights in a vehicle.

Officials say a Sweetwater resident was pulled over twice in an 18 hour period for driving after dark with only flashlights used to light up the road. The flashlights were reportedly strapped in with a bungee cord attached to the vehicle's bumper. The driver was first stopped by KPD in East Knoxville, then later by another officer in North Knoxville.

That is some due diligence right there. What about using an electric drill to remove ear wax? Should I NOT do that?

Give this resident a break. All potential Darwin Award winners have to start someplace.

Look on this as a form of practice.

You know those weird black ear “plugs” that the nitwits are using to create giant holes? Guess they haven’t thought of using a bigger drill bit!
