Advice for Cell Phone Owners

1. Don't drop it in the bathtub.

2. If you must drop it in the bathtub, try to catch it before it submerges completely.

3. If it's a flip phone, and you can catch it before it submerges completely, try to keep the bit with the keypad out of the water.

4. Yes, I know that means the LCD bit will get wet. Yes, water will get under the under the screen. Use a blow dryer. Yes, that works. How do I know? How do I know? Because I do, that's why. Look, I told you not to drop it in the bathtub in the first place, didn't I?
