phlushing

So, I uh... flushed my cell phone.

What?

Yeah. Saturday afternoon I walked into a bathroom clutching my Samsung e105. Five minutes later, I walked out empty-handed.

As I entered the stall that fateful afternoon, I thoughtfully freed up my hands by slipping little e105 into my right-side shorts pocket. A shallow pocket- sure- but a safe place, right? I then went about business as usual, pulled up my shorts, and reached for a right-handed flush. With the stretch, my right-side pocket positioned itself directly over the bowl, and in doing so must have woken e105's suicidal tendencies. As I pressed through with the flush, e105 took a dive for the waters beneath. I saw a flash of silver and plunged my hand into the depths (what- you would have done it too), but it was too late. e105 was gone.

It all happened so fast.
