Getting water out of your ear
Anyone know how to get water out of your ear? I took a hot tub trip about a half hour ago and it still hasn't come out yet. Damn my low patience...

Patience usually works for me.

Lean or tilt your head, pointing your ear in question toward the floor. Gently shake your head up and down until you feel some movement.

I used a concentration of vinegar drops in my ears that would help dry things up enough to dislodge some of the water.

Have another person siphon it out or do it yourself with a long enough hose.

I shake my head violently Night at the Roxbury-style. Using a little soap to break up the surface tension might work too.

OK, Rabastid has me do this funny little dance.
Stand on one foot and lean over sideways so your ear with the water in it is facing the floor. Kick your not-on-the-floor foot and punch with the opposite arm at the same time. I swear to god it works, and if it doesn't, it's still very amusing for whomever's watching.

Everclear works perfectly, or isopropyl. Or both. The more alcohol you can mix into the water, the faster it will evaporate.
Pur it in, let it diffuse, then turn your ear to the floor. The part that doesn't drip will go soon enough.

Lay down on the bed or couch or floor with the clogged ear on the ground. Just lay there for a while and it'll come out with no shaking even.
