I Dropped My iPhone in the Toilet
Yes, you read that correctly. My 2-yr old and I were in the world's tiniest bathroom stall when I fumbled my iPhone and dropped it into the PUBLIC toilet...GROSS!
To boot, it was after we had done our business.... EVEN GROSSER!!!!
Here's a replay: 
So not only did I have to stick my hand in the nasty toilet bowl to rescue my little iPeePhone, but I had to fidget with it as I attempted iPhone-CPR. And you can't wash, rinse or sanitize it (though 1 chic suggested I put some Clorox on it...hello???). So I guess I'm thankful that nobody will EVER want to use my iPhone, though it still remains that I have to.
I salvaged most of it, just one injury: the on/off button doesn't work anymore. So I have an iPhone that will never shut off. So what's my point? Are you wondering how can I possibly spin this into some leadHership principle? Wanna bet a new iPhone that I can?
Our things: our cars, our jewels, investments & toys - they aren't bad. God's richly blessed us with a democracy & economy to have them. I just have one piece of advice: Hold your things in open palms....not clenched fists. When we do, it communicates 2 powerful things: 1. "God, these are yours to take; not mine to keep." 2. "World, my palms may hold my temporary things; but my heart holds my permanent Savior."

This could only happen to a girl. Men take good care of our iPhones!!!!
This post cracked me up. Sorry for laughing. I especially liked the "iPeePhone" bit. I can relate. I dropped my Treo (b4 there was iPhones) in the toilet (b4 I did my bizness) and rescued it. After it dried out it actually worked well for two months and THEN died! Go figure.
MeeGee! Oh, like you've never done this before...pah-leez!
Hey Terrace - Thanks for stopping by, man! Glad someone out there can feel my pain!
A lesson out of this? You rock woman!!!!! Thanks for making me laugh :)
You may want to change your ringtone to "Yellow Submarine"

Her.
Try rubbing alchol to disinfect it recommended for lots of electronic devices. You are to funny
Yellow submarine... I agree with Kevin, you can use alcohol (Don't immerse it)and also you can use windex solution to clean it. I don't know what is more embarrassing, to drop it on a toilet, or to drop your I-phone on a plate full of mole... those are great memories.
Great spin!!! I say you trade your iphone for Raul's.

It's amazing when God shakes us up a bit to see how "things" don't matter. Jesus is still on the throne and He is all we need!
Hey Emily, It's just the coolest that you stopped by. Thank you, man! And you rev'ed me up with your final words - you are so right!
Wow...Just goes to show you the power of Apple Products...(Go Steve Jobs)...I Bet you an HP product would never survive in the toilet...MAKE THE SWITCH HP!!
Are you replacing it? Another iPhone?
C'mon, it's worth it!

Nope. Not gonna do it...wouldn't be prudent..."
I'm gettin' the cheapest one AT&T offers. Sorry, Apple-Master :)
LOL! I dropped my 80G iPod in the toilet a couple months ago. Never worked again. Lucky you.
And... thanks for the lessons. :-)
Hi Heather,
What is in the zip lock bag in the toilet (picture)? Where you sending off your iPhone to the Ocean (like a goldfish)?

HA HA, HA, well, I did an instant replay photo for you guys, but didn't want to sink the phone in the toilet again, so I bagged it! : )
Two words:
Phone Insurance. For 4.95 a month you can have piece of mind.
