Is this on the same line as ‘do you smoke after...’ or did this occur during the act

just proves the old adage never put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear

Technically, I think the batteries  remain outside of your ears, located in the stem of each AirPod. Still a bit too close for comfort.

Again you should never put anything smaller than your elbow  in your ear.

BTW- don’t these people realize how dorky they look-reminds me of how Clarkson College students used  to look in the 60’s with their shirt pockets stuffed with pens protractors and slide rules hanging from their belts whereas at my school 12 miles away we had Brooks Brothers pocketless shirts with our initials on them

I don't think people will stop using earbuds anytime soon... more and more they'll probably be wireless, too.

Hummm.  A new twist on a classic from the American Songbook.  

 

From "Smoke gets in your eyes"  to  "Smoke gets in your ears"

Many still use and prefer earbuds. Aside from it being handy, it is cheaper compared to headphones.
