Guys With Ear Problems.............Including Vincent

My brother-in-law has an earache. I imagine he does. His sister, who is my wife, and his daughter order him around all the time. I don’t like the guy, but they do him wrong a lot of times. So I can see why his ear hurts. When a guys ear hurts it’s generally because of some woman giving him grief.

That happens to me a lot. It seems it’s most prevalent during house cleaning. My wife orders me around the whole time. She also corrects me on how to clean correctly. I’d love to tell her if she doesn’t like the way I clean she can do it all, but I thought I might not try that. I notice after I finish cleaning my ears always hurt. I think I have finally put two and two together. That five-spot has really opened my eyes. I see why my ears hurt a lot also.

All guy’s ears hurt for this same reason. Most of us have some woman to tell us stuff all the time. After hearing about all you have done wrong most of the time your ear has to hurt. It’s a really simple scientific explanation. Your ear has good feeling and bad feeling nerve receptors. The good feeling ones do just that. They make us feel good. When I hear the song “Whiter Shade of Pale” the good ear receptors kick in and there’s a party going on in my ear. When my wife starts to berate me because I put the toilet tissue on the holder wrong the bad ear receptors kick in and my ear starts to hurt. That’s as simple as I can explain it.

That’s what happened to Vincent..........Van Gogh that is. History says he broke up with his girlfriend and he cut off his ear.......well, why would you cut off your ear for a woman? He did not want to. After they broke up he wanted to win her back. He tried really hard. But he had to listen to all she had to say. She was just hammering poor old Vince. She was telling him stuff like he was a good painter, but he wasn’t going to get famous until after he died. And she wanted some money and a good life before then. Finally his ear got to hurting so bad he just cut it off and handed it to her. He told her to talk to it. He was in the middle of painting “Starry, Starry Night” and he needed to finish.
