Unhappy an unnecessary risk . . . . . . . .

Do you reckon I am just "one of the lucky ones" or do you reckon that you are just being a bit "overprotective" ?
Definitely the former . . . . . . .

I have had my ears syringed around 80 times in my life
OK, here's a comparison to consider :

Several times in my (much) younger days I drove my car on a motorway well in excess of 100 mph. . . . . . . . Was that wise ? NO . . . . . . . Did I get away with it ? YES . . . . . . . . . Would I do it again now that I'm older and know better ? NO

The 81st time might just be the occasion on which the high pressure pencil thin jet of water rips through your tympanic membrane and totally destroys the structure of the auditory ossicles in the middle ear . . . .

Think about it . . . . . . . . .
