the G sides

They story below is entirely true. I did not ask for any further information – partly out of frustration, partly out of fear.

Amy (at home on the phone): You are going to be very mad but this is just one of those times you are going to be angry at your wife. We’ll get through this.

Grant (at office on phone): What?

Amy: I dropped my phone in the toilet.

Grant: (Silent but thinking – no biggie, get it out, take it apart, let it air dry for 24 hours, see if it works.) Okay…

Amy: Wait – it’s still in the toilet. It’s stuck.

Grant: (Still silent trying to figure this out.)

Amy: I got up to flush the toilet, my phone fell in and I flushed at the same time. The phone is stuck in the hole.

Grant: (Still silent)

Amy: I can’t get the phone out of the toilet.

Grant: (Still silent)

Amy: Are you there????

I get home and sure enough – the phone is lodged in the hole. It’s not moving. Amy informs me that the everyone in the family has tried. Good to know that we all love playing in the toilet. I guess I was still in shock and awe because I forgot to take a picture of it. Even now I’m kicking myself for not snapping a picture. I did get a picture of the phone AFTER I got it out.

That’s right, The G Man got the phone unstuck. Let’s just say that a hammer and a chisel will break about anything.

Do we have insurance on the phone? No. Why? Because GENIUS husband hates to spend $120 a year on insurance for a cell phone. Cost to replace phone? Don’t ask. We are scouring Ebay as we speak.
