I learned something new today when the guest before me, a former FBI agent, came to the studio with his own IFP (earpiece). I wondered why he would bother. Then I realized that the IFP I've been using is the same IFP everyone else uses. So he's a germ freak, and I'm probably pushing Wolf Blitzer's ear wax into my head.

Eeeeewwww!
Ever since I started watching Monk I've become a bit of a germ freak myself. I doubt I'd bring my own earpiece, but I always have Purell wipes with me for such germy occasions.
The Purell wipes are very effective, though you'd still need about 1000 of them to deal with the facilities you described in China.

I would be very pleased if you got a job doing segments for the Daily Show. This is one part because you'd fit in well there, as you're very talented and funny. This is also because I would then not have to hear or see Glenn Beck.

Very funny! You guys are getting a real groove together. I'm even starting to like GB a little. if only when you two are chatting. (Everyone seems more adorable unless you have to hear them rant about their opinions.)
"Sackre Bleu!" Now THAT'S hilarious!
Stupid French pigeons.

My former weather girl (she HATES that term) wife says that the ear thingys are usually custom-molded for frequent users for a more comfortable fit as well as hygene. So there's another reason to bust out and buy your own.
Tres bon, le video Francais! I would write more, but I'm on my mandatory 5th week of vacation for the year, and I'm not feeling the need to exert myself.
