So, I am pretty gross!
This is a fact.
Specifically, I've had an ear infection for over a year. I've had this thing for so long that I'm getting used to it. I'll miss it when it's gone. I've had it for longer than I've had some friends, and I don't miss any of them. Periodically I go to see a healthcare professional and they prescribe ear drops which don't do anything and which I either lose or sell on the black market to fund my chronic flip-flop habit.
But yesterday, I went back to the doctor, who has finally done some actual tests. I went back because he sent me a letter saying 'Please come back, we have discovered something we had not expected."
He discovered that I have got MRSA . I have got MRSA in my goddamn ear!

Sounds like some kind of advanced degree.
I knew you were super clever.
Advanced degree? In growing bacteria? Super clever? At being disgusting?
One man's disgusting is another man's penicillin.
I'll have to disagree. Bacteria living in your head is pretty gross by anyone's standards.
Out of curiosity, is this going to turn into some sort of research project regarding MRSA and what it gets up to in people's ears?
