Grass IN speedometer gauge

As odd as it sounds, I have a small brown blade of grass in my Speedometer.. its not really that big or long but it is annoying as S**t. I have no idea on how it would have fanagled its way in to there... (+1 hp?) but now I need to figure out how to fanagle it out... Would this be something I should just wait untill I go to the dealership to get taken out? Or is there someway I can get it out of there . Kinda odd... any help? I'm sure theres plenty of you out there with the same problem

Is there a how-to on this anywhere? Or am I just clueless and it is very simple?

Actually, I believe this is the first step in DSM's strategy to make the Evo more "green" in order to get deeper penetration into the Prius demographic.

All joking aside, I have the same problem which has actually gotten worse since it's starting to get hotter outside. Below is a pic.

It really shouldn't be too hard to remove. I've never done it in the X yet, but used to take off my VIII's cluster all the time.

HAHAHA...Perhaps this is turning into a 4-20 joke off? Seriously tho this is very wierd my guess is it was pieced together with the grass in it or someone at the dealership did it or you have a hole somewhere, one of those three...
