Fumble!

You know that Seinfeld when Jerry accidentally drops his girlfriend's toothbrush in the bowl and then she brushes her teeth with it before he has a chance to tell her what happened? Then he avoids kissing her, they break up, and she vengefully dips something of his in the toilet, leaving him to wonder what it is. (It winds up being the toilet brush- after he throws out every kitchen utensil he owns.)
.


On occasion, I too completely lose control of my hands and drop something in the toilet. A couple years ago I haphazardly flung a beaded necklace in the toilet, and after removing it I scrubbed and dipped it in rubbing alcohol- and yet I really don't think I've worn it since. I see it and think 'toilet necklace', and move on to the next choice.

This morning I dropped a pump of hand sanitizer in the toilet. I was so mad at myself during the retrieval process, but I managed to laugh at the irony as I fished the sanitizer out of such an unsanitary little pool.

Now I just need to invent some kind of toilet guard for clumsy fools like myself to prevent this horrible little situation. Oh wait, I think someone did invent that already- it's called a lid, and I just need to use it. Cool.
