The only thing I know about Q-Tips is that you're not supposed to stick them in your ears.

Of course, if you can't stick them in your ears, what possible purpose could they serve?

The latest substitute for bathing is to cover your entire body in a fine layer of Chap-Stick, as a protective coating. It means you never have to wash again.

The Q-Tips are for applying the Chap-Stick.
