"Really? I'm sure as hell not putting my hand in that toilet..."
"But you gotta... it's the only thing I've ever had in my life that I've bought myself."
I'm sure that's how the converstation went with the young girl and her friend. It doesn't really matter how it went really, she got her phone. I've known a couple people who've had to get new phones because they've dropped theirs in a toilet. It's funny and usually a good story to bring up from time to time. Although, I'm not sure I'd reach into a freshly used toilet to get it back. I mean really, it's a Razr phone.. they make them constantly and they're pretty cheap these days. Just quit coming to the bar for a couple days and you got enough money for a new phone.
"Just leave it turned off and put the battery back in after you get up tomorrow. It should be fine."
"But it's not working!!" The tears were running down this girls face as she stood outside of the bar with her friend.
"Dummy... What'd I just say? Don't turn it on."
The girl sat on the sidewalk and cried. You'd think she just lost her wedding ring at her boyfriends house or something. "This is the only thing I've ever bought by myself and no one else bought for me. Hows my mom gonna call me tomorrow?"
I really couldn't believe what I was hearing. A phone is that important? I could see if it was one of those Blackberry phones with the GPS built in and it was the only one of it's kind but this was a cheaply made Razr that was going to probably break on her in a few days anyways.
"I'll die without it!!!"
Hmm.. well.. maybe you should go back in the bar and have another drink.
