Dirty clothes. A shower at a neighbor's house. A very helpful neighbor who takes the clothes to the washing machine. A clean self. A question. "We're washing your clothes for you." "My cell phone is in my jeans."
Doom?
Why no. Smart friends of my dad's took the inundated cell phone out of the wash cycle, opened it and took the battery out, and
Put the open phone and separated battery in a bag of Minute Rice for a couple of days. (Seems MR absorbes moisture more quickly than plain old rice.)
At this time, all reports are that the phone works perfectly. I'll let you know if that changes.
Note: Google reveals a host of anti-inundation techiques: from lamps, to ovens, to things so complicated you'll just go a buy a new phone.
