How is ear stapling different from piercing?

Gullibility of the recipients?

Or even different from your older brother bullying you by flicking your ear every time he has the opportunity?

[sqlrob]

Well, if they did that every time you tried to eat, that might actually work

Stapling your ears helping you lose weight is entirely dependent on how bad you are at operating a stapler, and what size/grade of stapler you use. Blood does have weight you know!

Stapling your ears might not help but stapling your mouth shut could have an effect.

and don’t get us started about taping your face - just don’t

Your ear is, essentially, a mini-you

Not kidding, this is a thing

I was about to say you can’t make this up, but apparently someone could, so…

I had my ears stapled to decrease my levels of gullibility.

I could see it working if you stapled you ears to a tree in the back yard, far from the refrigerator.

Granted, people do tend to eat less while writhing around on the floor in pain….

“No, no, I said restricting your intake of staple foods, which are high in carbohydrates, may help you lose weight.”

“Sorry, I can’t hear you. I have a staple in my ear.”

[Alle_Eden]

Where can I find some body safe staples?
My piercings are exactly the right width apart for a staple, but I don’t want to leave a normal one in my ear
