Showerthought: I used a plastic straw to clear a clogged static port

Was dealing with a blocked port on a Cessna 172 and grabbed a drinking straw from my lunch... it fit perfectly and pushed the gunk out without scratching anything. Has anyone else used a weird everyday item for a quick fix like that?

Nice! I've used a zip tie as a temporary cotter pin before.

Did it actually hold up?
