Answer 21

I think God made ear wax bad tasting so that we would leave it alone and it could do its job, which is plugging up your ears so you can swim underwater.
I find that it is a acquired taste and if you keep at it you will actually get to enjoy it. Another tip is to save it up until you get enough to make a nice sandwich which would go nice with a good chanti and some flaffa beans.

Answer 22

who in their right mind would even want to taste it or even want to know, you must be lacking in something, did your mummy not teach you to stay away from all things dirty.
