"She doth wax weak... " is a favorite Shakespearean phrase. The Fifteenth a Century writer guys were always talking about women waxing this and that.
Cerumen protects the organ of aural intercourse.
The vlog brothers, who do Crash Course, had something on earwax iirc... If it was wet, you were more likely to be genetically smelly. If it was the dry kind, not so much.
More interesting is the question of whether I am right-eared of left-eared. I have to listen to the telephone using my left ear because of some hearing impairment in the right ear. At the same time my right ear excretes far more ear wax than the left.
