As hard as I try I can’t get my nose close enough to either ear.

If it reveals what kind of gossip we listen to, a lot of us will be in big trouble!

Fast forward to 2030 and the conversation with your assigned Obamacare doctor/IRS agent:

Doctor: I can see that you are reasonably healthy but I’m going to have to report you for eating beef which was banned during the Franken Administration three years ago.

You: Doc, there must be some mistake. I have been following the Michelle Obama dietary guidelines to the letter as instructed. I swear. I would never eat beef.

Doctor: That’s not what your earwax says.

You: Earwax? What earwax?

Doctor: That sample we took from you while we had you sedated. It revealed a high probability that you had consumed beef in violation of federal law. That will be a $5,000 fine.

You: No! There must be some mistake!

Doctor: The earwax doesn’t line. Oh, and while we’re discussing it, the earwax says you aren’t getting enough gay sex either. You need to watch that.

Tax payer money was spent on this study.

Some kid, maybe working late at McDonalds dealing with crazed, uncouth customers at midnight, then left cleaning the restroom after hours, payed for this with part of their paycheck.

Person A- "So what do you do for a living, where do you work?

Person B- "I work for the City, I am an earwax and armpit olfactory analyst."

I’m sure the rear end could tell you that as well.

You could find out the same things by analyzing any bodily secretion, given that secretions will always contain dead cells, which contain DNA, and that chemical residues present in the body will likely be secreted along with the mucous, wax, or whatever.

Although the subject is a bit gross, I suppose that chemical analysis of one’s ear way might be pretty revealing. What I find interesting is that I have never seen mention of it on CSI or those reality forensics TV shows.
I have seen quite a few of those shows and have never heard a mention of this.
