Granted. You are send out to a country far far away to fight in a war that does not concern you at all. As you are approaching the battlefield, the car you are in drives over a mine that explodes and the shards damage your ear to the extend that it is simply ripped off completely. As in, you lost your ear.
Given that I have no idea which ear you were talking about, on your way to the hospital, the ambulance drives over another mine which causes the same kind of explosion and shards, but this time they hit your other ear. Same thing happens... you now lost both of your ears and the ability to hear as well.
But hey, they're not weird anymore... They're simply not...hing...
I wish it wasn't raining outside, but sunny instead.
