Sticking it in the over is faster. OTOH you could put it in the rice and then stick the whole thing in the oven. Then you might wind up with a fixed cell phone and something to eat. :rotf2:

Yeah, "Dirty rice and beans" comes to mind.....:yak:

yeah well
 
i was reaching down to grab a trout
when it came off the hook :doh:

the trout was weary and thought it wasn't free yet

and at that very same moment my cell phone slides out of
my shirt pocket right into the lake
ka BLOOOP !

so i asked myself in a split second
should i grab the trout or the phone?

screw that! i grabbed the trout
then i grabbed the phone :tooth:

instantly another idea popped into my head
i quickly took off my sweatshirt and tied a knot
in the sleeve and tossed the phone in and down the arm hole

next i grabbed the opposite sleeve and swung the sweatshirt
and the phone helicopter style round and round as fast as i could
around twenty five times over my head

after that, i put it on my sunny dashboard of my vehicle
when i got home i placed it on the base board heater

the next day it worked perfectly ! :kewl:

I've done the sunny dashboard thing to a pager before, it worked like a charm. Salt water, too - I douched it in fresh water from my cooler first, then to the dash. 45 minutes later I was back in business.

:confused: Why not just put in a ziplock ? That's what I do if working outside in the rain.

Mishaps happen when you go to use it or answer it .. once when dialing I watched one drop of water roll off my thumb and in a number .. junk

Wish I know that trick back on my 21st birthday a few years ago over at Fantasy's strip club.... Cost me a phone and about $160 worth of dances to make up for how pissed I was about my phone.
