  2. Ha ha, this is gold!

    I was going to share the link to that guy who collected his bellybutton lint for years, but Ashley mentioned him first. He even has advice for how to get more/better lint. :)

    "Hamster substitute for members of PETA." Love it.

  6. I gave lint to some kids one and the little brats shoved it up my car's exhaust pipe. So I ran them over before the car broke down. That's my story and I am sticking to it.

  12. Here’s another use to add to your already fantastic list:

    While attempting an overland crossing of the Darien Gap, I couldn’t find any “cat-tail” type plants, to use as “fluff” for my blowgun. I was forced to improvise and used my own “navel lint." I hadn’t bathed in quite some time, so luckily there was enough to wrap around the dart and make it fly straight and true. I ate monkey meat for days.
