Man lastnight I was drunk and called bullshit on this. Then I found out this worked by performing the maneuver tonight.. Hahahahha.. Maneuver. .. my earphones work as well as they ever did. I think I might think first about cotton swabs before whiskey next time. They need this on tv at 5 o clock instead of infomercials.
