Dina on an ear infection: I feel like my ear needs to throw up…(very serious expression on her face) but I don’t know how!

Awesome features of that statement include:
* Not quite having the filter that would keep her from suggesting that an ear could, in fact, throw up.
* Having enough of that filter to follow up her statement with an acknowledgment that she understands that there does not seem to be a mechanism by which her ear could, in fact, throw up.

It is the careful navigation of this line that makes for great artists (i.e. I know that clocks do not, in fact, melt, but what if they did?)
