I was giving a VIP tour of Kennedy Space Center one day when some king of beetle flew right into a lady's ear, and burrowed right down the canal. Naturally, the lady went nearly hysterical. Got her to an emergency room in the Vehicle Assembly Building, where a med tech started to get forceps and such out. I asked him to please loan me his pocket flashlight, and turn out the room lights. He looked at me quizzically but did so. I shined the light on the lady's ear and out came the beetle, on its own.
The tech said that's a trick he'd remember.
