For several months now, my ears have been aching. I used to think that perhaps my ears were hurting because someone was talking about me. But technically, that would not work because the Old Wives' Tale says the ears should burn and not hurt.
As such, I looked up information on earaches and discovered a very curious thing. When someone has an earache, there are specialists that one can go see. These specialists are called Ear, Nose, and Throat specialists. In other words, these specialists are called ENTs. This amused me greatly because there are Ents in The Lord of the Rings and those sorts of Ents are completely different. As such, saying, "I'm considering going to see an ENT about my health" takes on a completely different character.
I hope my discovery makes you laugh today!!
