Compressed aerosol cans are sort of fun. We have/sell them at work
(well, my Saturday job), a few weeks ago we managed to accidentally
blow one up in the workshop... It's left a pretty dodgy looking white
stain all over part of the workshop wall :O. When we get bored we try
to make icicles, or just sneak up on each other and spray the earlobe
(they're pretty cold at close range).

Aerosol to dislodge and then vacuum cleaner tool to get it out of the
case is my favorite way of doing it. Just a vacuum cleaner is probably
sufficient, a paint brush seems a little excessive to me. :) Outside
or in a garage is a good idea too.
