I got one for ya...

When I was recently installing my 392, I of course had the radiator hoses
removed.  A drip of coolant would fall out of the lower radiator opening once
and awhile, so I had a towel on the shop floor underneath to soak up the
drops.  At various times during the install I had to crawl under the front of
the truck, all the time being aware of the coolant drips in order to avoid
having them fall in my face, etc.  But at one particular moment I misjudged
the timing of the drips and my body position.  As I scooted down under the
front of the truck, a drop fell perfectly into my left ear canal.  It was a
hideous feeling!  My garage was filled with curses as I danced around trying
to shake the coolant out.  It was at the end of a hard day and I really didn't
need that... I was really PO'd!
