I agree with Anastasia. Besides, it could be worse. A few months ago here in New York, a guy's cell phone fell out of his pocket and into a toilet on a subway car just as he was flushing. Without thinking (I'd hope), he plunged his hand down the drain to try to snatch the phone. End result: His hand got stuck. When he realized he couldn't free himself, he called for help. Concerned passengers called the transit police. In the end, they had to stop the whole train, and a fire crew had to break down the door. The EMS people couldn't get his hand free, and ended up having to remove him -- with his hand still jammed into the toilet bowl -- from the subway car in front of a cheering and laughing crowd of hundreds. Honest to god, I am not making this up. They eventually freed him by cutting the steel bowl, but due to all the damage incurred and inconvenience, he now owes about $10,000 to the city. Oh, and his picture appeared in all the papers. Moral: Don't take your creme into the restroom on a subway train. Question: Who in god's name plunges his hand into a public toilet in the NYC subway system, of all places? Now you know why I live here. All the free entertainment. Atticus
