FISH THE PHONE!

You have seen it in movies, probably heard about it from friends...yet you think it'll never happen to you, so you laugh... But I am telling you, the hard way, it is as easy as saying 1, 2, 3...

*splash*

My cell phone fell into the toilet!!!!!!

As soon as it did, I turned around and fished it out using the strap. I dried it off with probably half a roll of toilet paper. Took the battery out and dried the compartment as well. The screen started flickering and the color on the monitor started to fade. I watched it helplessly. But I remember reading "the story" in a magazine, so I followed what I read:

1. Fish out your phone
2. Wipe dry
3. Take out battery
4. Let dry and it should still work in most cases

So this morning after a whole night of prayers, I turned the phone on without much hope. The colors were so light, I could barely see anything on the screen. The keypad was not working properly. Things jumped around and when I pressed a number, something else would happen. I thought the phone was a goner. Then I found out I could use my blue tooth head set to make calls (voice dial). Well at least I could still use the phone, so hubby wouldn't kill me. :p But as the day went by, it actually started functioning normally. *whew* The inside probably got dried off because power was on. So from now on, no more phone in the back pocket!
