Cellular phones and irony
I was recently talking to my cousin the other day and catching up with one another's lives as he lives in LA and I live in Hawaii. Before he moved up, we were very close and would do a lot of things together. After he moved, we still were able to keep in touch, but not as often. Anyways, so the first topic we touched upon was which colleges he got letters from. We were blabbering on about that topic for about five minutes, when out of nowhere he says, "You know I dropped my phone in the toilet. Man, I was so pist off." You know, I tried to be all sympathetic and I swear, it crossed my mind at least once, but immediately after, it was pure pandemonium. I broke out in uncontrollable laughter for at least ten minutes and I constantly repeated how dumb I thought my cousin was. I asked him how this came to happen and he merely told me that he was going to go and use the bathroom and forgot that he had clipped his phone to his basketball pants. So, right when he lowered everything, his phone unclipped and fell right into the toilet. I thought he was the stupidest kid alive after that incident. Then, another moment came up in my mind. Not too long ago, my other friend talked of how he dropped his phone in the toilet the same way my cousin did. The only difference was that my friend sucked all the toilet water out of his phone so that his phone would not be ruined. (HAHAHAHAHA) Either way, his stupidity would not be shown any mercy. So, my cousin dragged on for another couple minutes on the phone and I started to feel a strange tinkle on the lower half of my body. This was a sign that I needed to go use the bathroom. So I wrapped things up with my cousin, which dragged on for another few minutes, and by this time, I couldn't hold it much longer. I ran to the bathroom and just as I was about to pull down my pants, I saw that my phone was clipped on to my pants. With a sigh of relief, I carefully placed the phone in my right hand and proceeded to lower my pants. Finally, my body felt as ease as I let everything out. Usually for boys, whenever they hold it in for too long, their body twitches a bit and I felt the small twitches coming along. So, with my body totally at ease, I got ready for twitches that were coming. As soon as my body started to twich, I felt the grip on my phone becoming weaker and weaker, until it was too late! The phone had dropped right in the middle of the toilet bowl and I thought to myself, wow.... THE IRONY! I felt so stupid and ashamed. I stared at my phone for a couple minutes, failing to pick it up immediately for I could not believe how dumb I was. I thought of flushing the phone down the drain but that would end up being a lot worse. Therefore, I picked it up, took out my sim card, which was not damaged at all (nice) and threw my phone away.
